I don’t think that http/3 is easier to implement than http/1.1 especially since h3 is stateful where http/1.1 is not. Especially not when everything should be working correctly and securely because the spec does not always tell about these things. Oh and multiplexing is quite a hard thing to do especially when you are also dealing with a state machine and each of your clients can be malicious.

I can't speak to http/3 (I haven't tried to impl it), but I can say that a bare-bones http/2 is very easy to implement because it doesn't try to pretend to be prose.
