Do any web servers have meaningful updates? It’s pretty standard stuff. IIS can do quite a bit of the same things. It’s common in my industry. We set up URL rewrites, reverse proxys, asp.net, even node.js or python (flask) based apps using WSGI. Separate app pools for everything all on the same server sometimes. It’s never been a bottleneck because it’s pretty streamlined code. Haven't had any security issues with the web server ever. It’s nice there is a GUI but when you start looking at the configuration (xml based) a lot of the directives are familiar if you’re used to nginx.conf or httpd and with htaccess (web.config) in site directories.
