Thank you, this is amazing feedback/info. Yeah, we think the Tailscale integration is pretty neat too!

Glad I could help!
Not sure if you‘ll read this 7 days after the fact, but an easier/caddy native way to deal with bots, in the sense of caddy-defender or Anubis would be a godsend.

Author of caddy-defender and one of the Anubis maintainers here.
Definitely something that's important. An Anubis caddy plugin is in the works too! See https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/16
However anything in caddy would likely still be a plugin and non native
Complex root domain routing and complex dynamic rewrite logic remains behind Apache/NginX/HaProxy, a lot of apps are then served in a container architecture with Caddy for easy cert renewal without relying on hacky certbot architectures. So we don't really serve that much traffic with just one instance. Also, a lot of our traffic is bots. More than one would think.
The basic configuration being tiny makes it the perfect fit for people with varying capabilities and know how when it comes to devops. As a devops engineer, I enjoy the easy integration with tailscale.
