One issue with Litespeed is it's closed source. A key piece of your IT
infrastructure, completely dependent on a small company?
This situation created some interesting problems in the past. Not to mention
the licensing costs ($1400 per box).

It's not a show-stopper, but is there an open-source alternative that
actually works?

Re page caching: yes, absolutely, page caching rocks, but it's not always
possible, and even when it is possible, it is not always implemented.

Re bad reputation of lighty + FastCGI combo: most open source software is
written out of frustration (either with existing solutions, or with your day
job, and usually both). As far as I know, both Mongrel and mod_fcgid were
written out of frustration with mod_fastcgi.

Best regards,
Alex
