Should I replace NPM? (feddit.uk)

I'm currently using NPM and upgrading to a new VPS for my business. I have a public website and am going to host a few more for friends, plus a few other services. Everything is on docker for ease. I use Cloudflare for DNS so would prefer using a DNS challenge. I will change this at some point but not yet ready to!

Should I:

stick with Nginx Proxy Manager which I know well (is it really that insecure or outdated?)
switch to NPM Plus (assuming this is the easiest)
switch to Caddy (seems to be there most recommended but will be a learning curve for me)
Try out Nginx (seems like a massive learning curve so I'm very reluctant)

Actually this happened to me about 6 months ago too - I wanted to switch to add crowdsec support but just could not get it to work so gave up and switched back to npm. I just assumed I wasn't doing it right and never got around to trying again

I thought it was pretty weird, so I tried again a while later; same result. I checked through issues and couldn't see anything, I figured it was just me. I tried because NPM was just full of error logs and was having some sort of shitfit, so I blew it out and rebuilt from scratch, now all is fine. But the NPM+ defeated me. I might have to try again just because.
