Unfortunately, while it may be "supported" platform, it's not *well*
supported. There's severe known issues running server under Windows
which have been unaddressed for a long time, eg
http://hub.qgis.org/issues/13293.

I'm personally not aware of anyone using QGIS server under Windows in
a production environment.

My suggestion - either Alessandro or the team at Oslandia are the most
knowledgeable about QGIS server setup and operation. I'd engage them
for this project and sponsor fixes through them for any blocking
blocking bugs in the QGIS server operation on Windows.
