The Tele will be more versatile for classic rock, country, pop and reggae/ska sounds - and is more likely to be closer to those classic sounds we all know.
However, the Jazzmaster will do these too - albeit a slightly brighter underlying character. Where the Jazzmaster falls down is choppy stuff - the ring/overtones from behind the bridge make it difficult to use in modern ska/punk/high gain settings without some kind of damping.I found my JM hopeless for this.
However the Jazzmaster’s neck pickup sound is from the gods - it’s like a massive grand piano...
Because it has a trem.
So there are things you can play on a Jazzmaster that you can’t (convincingly) play on Tele, but not vice versa.

Never having owned a Jazzmaster (or Jaguar) - so forgive me - I've always been under the impression that they sound a bit plinky, with little sustain.
If that's true, can they do heavier rock styles? I know J Mascis gets some pretty big rock sounds.
That was your ex. Ewww...
