None that I am aware of, is java pulled from a rpm ?

having to maintain 2 different kinds of webservers sounds a bit overkill 
honestly ...
Do the performances drop significantly under Apache ? Although I guess it
could make sense in a distributed arch, see below.

What does Kibana do that grafana doesn't ?

I am beginning to favor the following arch:
- SF core services on the main node: cauth, managesf, gerrit, jenkins, zuul, 
mysql (for cauth/managesf/gerrit/jenkins)
- one node per optional service: redmine / ELK / extra jenkins master / ...
with the ELK node also hosting its own DB backend for performance.
