The real question is, how much traffic do you need to handle?
As far as I know, Laravel by default with its caching mechanism can handle a lot of traffic; if however you are going to deal with millions of requests per second, then indeed you will need a faster backend support, which in this case either swoole or the other two aforementioned projects you asked in the title will work flawlessly.
we have almost 10m MAU, which would increase in comming months to more than 50MAU. half of this numbers are on our blog which is now running by wordpress but soon we might migrate it to laravel with wordpress backend as an admin panel.
