If you know how nginx works, you can pick up lighttpd in fifteen minutes. Precedence is easier to read, you don't have so many rules about what block something has to be in (so if you want "/robots.txt" to always point to the same file for every vhost, you can just put that at the top), you don't have to size hash tables manually. Just a little nicer overall.
> Can it be used as a reverse proxy and load balancer
Yes.

That part I don't know, because I don't know how Minecraft works. If Minecraft uses HTTP for that, then yes. I do know that LetsEncrypt tooling kinda hates lighttpd for some reason.
