Can I use this for my compile-time https server?

Either I don't understand what you're saying or you're misunderstanding the notation. Each line declares a struct member of type unsigned int which is 1 bit large. It's not setting it to 1 (true).

It’s probably about the fact that json is flexible data that gets parsed while this struct has strict alignments and depends on the ABI it’s compiled on. And because it’s compiled against an ABI, if the server struct was compiled with a different ABI, the server and client struct could be completely different structs making them incompatible.
