Recent Kotlin versions have Coroutine IO (CIO) library. Do you think it's reasonable to migrate netty to CIO for this starter?

I believe the CIO implementation is still very much under development and a focus area according to the Ktor roadmap. The Netty engine seems to be most stable (at least from my experience), which is important for a starter.

Am happy to change it sometime in the future though.

I definitely agree that netty is the most stable engine. But I haven't found any public roadmap for ktor or CIO. I'll ask ktor team for the status.

They have a general one at https://blog.jetbrains.com/ktor/2020/08/10/ktor-roadmap-for-2020-2021/ but I think I heard something about focus on CIO from one of their conference talks recently.

Netty is still the default engine recommended by the Ktor folk so closing this for now.
