It can but some may consider it overkill for some basic switching.
The source repo contains a python example switcher with super simple web UI
and REST API:
https://github.com/mltframework/mlt/blob/master/src/swig/python/switcher.py

This works with two decklink SDI/HDMI inputs and outputs to another
decklink. If you need to do realtime encoding + streaming, that might be
possible on strong hardware and x264 tuning. If you need to decode two live
stream sources, MLT is not the strongest when it comes to live streaming
playback but it may be satisfactory; it depends on many things but
especially the streaming format.

This switcher example was made for a client's specific need, so it includes
a video mixer that places one input into the 80% top right corner over the
top of the other input. This is more advanced than most needs. You can
change this to do a quick dissolve or remove it to simply cut over.
