Oh, for a moment I thought you had issues with vibe.d not 
supporting latest dmd version.

Anyway, if you have contacted devs you may have been pleasantly 
surprised :) For example, template processing engine your are 
speaking about (Diet) is an additional feature and not required 
at all. You can have request handlers that generate HTTP bodies 
manually and even have request handlers that render raw TCP.

And even if something wasn't supported, asking about it have had 
a good chance to make it implemented pretty fast :)

You're welcome.
