- We extend the trace-logarithmic $S$-divergence from matrices to tracial $C^*$-algebras and finite von Neumann algebras, and show that its square root defines a metric on the invertible positive cone. We also prove an integral representation of the quantum Jensen--Shannon divergence in terms of shifted trace-log distances, implying metricity of its square root on the full positive cone in the same tracial framework. In the matrix case, we answer two questions of Virosztek \cite{Vir21} on Hilbertianity. Finally, we show that symmetric quantum Jensen divergences generated by non-affine operator convex functions yield metrics in the tracial setting via a Nevanlinna--Stieltjes type representation of the derivative, which generalizes a result of Carlen, Lieb and Seiringer.
