Purchase sharing has nothing to do with an Apple Music Family subscription. With a Family subscription, everyone gets their own music library.. You cannot share music that you lease with an Apple Music subscription. You can share playlists however (which are just the names of the songs and not the songs themselves).

See what friends are listening to in Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device - Apple Support

With Family Sharing (with or without an Apple Music subscription) you can still share music that you purchased from the iTunes Store.
