100% this is how my company used to deploy. we had multiple servers. rsync'd code to each server and cycled IIS. Worked good. Deploys to our farm took just a minute or two, because it would do a double deploy just to be extra sure everything went out.

Then the BORG came and assimilated us. Our deploys take easily 45+ minutes to really start shifting traffic

Is it still in use? I thought it had been replaced by Kestrel.

Kestrel does ASP.Net very quickly, because that's all it does. If you want a full web server, that does things like static files, SSL, Reverse Proxying, etc. then you want IIS at the very least sitting in front of it.

See https://stackify.com/kestrel-web-server-asp-net-core-kestrel... - comparison table 3/4 of the way down.
