Does it support standard HTTP cache management controls? Like the Vary header, and Cache-Control max-age and stale-while-revalidate

No, it only caches based on the predefined rules, for example request path, query, header, cookies or response headers, etc.. These are in the TODO list

I've been considering an HTTP/2 front cache. I'm currently using Varnish 4.1, and I know that V6 handles it, but what are the real worthwhile benefits of switching to H2 for cache like this?

Is it a significant enough difference that is worth the effort? Where do the benefits kick in?

Seems in order to use HTTP/2 in Varnish, Hitch has to be put in front of varnish.

With H2 you have multiplexing, single connection, and so on, also server push which is not yet implemented yet.
