is injecting a iserviceprovider instance considered a anti-pattern
In a recent podcast episode I recorded with Nick Chapsas, we discussed both Minimal API and Mediatr (due to be published on the 1st April). He mentioned a library I hadn't heard of before called Fast Endpoints, which is yet another option. So many different ways to skin a cat. I haven't used Carter, but did use Nancy back in the day.

6 .NET Myths Dispelled — Celebrating 21 Years of .NET
There's also Fast Endpoints as another way of doing a similar concept (This has API design issues imo, but the concept is solid). It ends up being similar to how a lot of people use MediatR, it's just instead of using controllers you use MapXXX to call MediatR. This just allows people to cut out the MVC overhead.

Is minimal api the way to go now?
that's why integration/functional testing with WebApplicationFactory is the way to go.
