Jump points you have covered, wormholes are a natural variant of them.

You can hamper jump drives by not letting them jump near or way off large masses aka planets far off the way, so the defenders have enough time to prepare. Of course as long as la grange points donīt overrule this.

A way to make bottlenecks for warp drives is that even small bodies are a danger for there shields and therefor the only can fly along certain lanes from system to system.

Same goes for nebulas and other space weather which can make constant navigation roles necessary.

GURPS Space 3rd Ed, and allthough I donīt like it much Space 4th Ed. has some closer looks at this.
