Traefik's marketing as the "Docker reverse-proxy" put me off since I like technologies to stay agnostic of each other (personal preference).
Your arguments are correct, and usually I'd run a separate web server but I suppose for a homelab having less things to manage is great
Traefik does auto discovery and you can register different configuration providers. Don't need docker? Then don't use the docker label-based provider. It is really flexible and has sensible defaults. Other than a few quirks in the basic auth support I haven't had any problems. And at work it powers our globally utilized infrastructure without any hiccups.
