Can Lightroom match the Sony in-camera JPEG look from an ARW file?

I sometimes prefer the JPEG my Sony a6100 produces, but I only need a small edit like straightening or rotation. To avoid re-saving the JPEG, I’d rather start from the RAW (.ARW) file. Is there a way for Lightroom, or another editor, to read the camera’s in-camera JPEG settings—such as Creative Style/Creative Look, color, tone, and lens corrections—and apply a matching starting point to the RAW file automatically?

The only way (I know) to get close to the camera's JPEG is to use Imaging Edge Desktop from Sony itself.
Download software for your OS, install it, go to Edit, Adjusting Images, find Creative Style/Creative Look and there select the style you use in your camera when take photo(s).
For lens correction search for Lens Correction in the same place.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Lightroom generally won’t reproduce Sony’s in-camera JPEG rendering exactly from an ARW file. The closest match mentioned here is to use Sony’s own software, Imaging Edge Desktop, which can apply Sony-specific settings such as Creative Style/Creative Look and lens corrections.
In Imaging Edge Desktop, go to Edit / Adjusting Images and look for Creative Style or Creative Look to match what was set in-camera. Lens Correction options are available there as well.
So if your goal is to start from the RAW while staying close to the camera JPEG, Sony’s software is the best option from the information provided. Lightroom may give a good interpretation of the RAW, but not an automatic mirror of Sony’s JPEG engine.
