Ive been using jetty for a long time, but always delivering static files (html,css,js,mp3, etc) with other webserver and proxying requests to servlets to jetty. But now that jetty support http2 isn't a good idea to serve everything servlets and static content through jetty? so I don't have to manage 2 different servers? is there any drawback?

You can certainly use Jetty alone, but to support HTTP/2 you need
HAProxy since Nginx or Apache don't support it yet.
See https://webtide.com/http2-with-haproxy-and-jetty/.
