The perf advantage is in user loading times. HTTP1 won't cut it, and no amount of hardware on the server will, either.

Just adding "SPDY" to nginx on some customer sites was enough to reduce load times by double digit %. (10-30 IIRC)

I think SPDY might be a workaround for a bit; it's still supported this year right?

No, Nginx dropped it (they only offer HTTP2 since 1.9.5) and Chrome dropped it from the client too this year IIRC.
