One of the caskets even bears the title, "Judah, son of Jesus," hinting that Jesus may have had a son, according to the documentary.

Can anyone venture as guess as to how many people in first-century Judaea would have been called "Judah, son of Jesus?"

As you say. "Jesus" is a variant of "Joshua," and naturally there were plenty of people named after this heroic figure.

The same with "Judah," the name of the head of that tribe after whom the Jews are named.

Sort of like "Smith, son of Jones," or "Tom, son of Bill."
