HTTP/1.0 in a narrow sense, sure. Pipelining wasn't added long after and server push was in there very early on, now we have better systems like websockets but the principle is the same.
Caching proxies don't cause any problem so long as the system is used correctly, and HATEOAS-style services work well and benefit from the caching.
Even incompatible protocols like SIP borrow heavily from it. It's a fine technical choice.
