Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
- Redis is known to cause issues for local cache
- Redis is slower than APCu
<- loading the /apps/dashboard route. That is for Redis on the same host. In a real cluster the difference will be a lot bigger.

Research direction
Start with the linked caching configuration guidance at docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/caching_configuration.html#redis-configuration-in-nextcloud-config-php, then locate the server's setup-check entry point. Done means a setup warning appears when memcache.local is configured as Redis, with the existing check behavior preserved.
