I have the dilemma of running two Apache servers on two different
devices.

I'm going to attempt a reverse proxy so I can still have a webpage and
use stuff like NextCloud.

Is it hard?  Admittedly, I am kind of intimidated by it.

They are very easy. If you are running docker anywhere, you can run
the Nginx Proxy Manager container and get a nice GUI to set everything
up.

If you don’t want to go the docker route, there are tons of tutorials
on how to set up RPs with certificates for every major application.

Do it. You will learn a bunch but will find it much more useful longer
term.

You could also try haproxy to do http request routing to the various
back-and services you are trying to run.
