How would I structure a game engine in C that uses SDL2
Yes I have written a game in C/SDL2. It's 2,200 lines long. The Windows C code (actually easy to convert to Linux) is in the asteroids_ch48.zip file in https://github.com/David-H-Bolton/LearnC You'll need the sounds and graphics and have to install SDL2 on your PC.

Is C a decent programming language for small(ish) games?
I wrote an asteroids game in C with SDL2 about 2,200 lines. On Windows and Linux. It had aliens, ran at 60 fps, had pixel perfect collision detection and a high-score table. Source code is on GitHub( Windows version) and Linux. In both cases you need the chapter 48 files plus the graphics.zip and sounds.zip in the Windows folder.

raylib vs SDL2 vs Allegro. Which would you recommend for simple games?
I wrote asteroids in C + SDL2 about 2,000 lines of code and that included high score table, and high speed pixel perfect collision detection. The code is here: Windows C source code (Visual Studio), or Linux C Source code (VS Code + clang). The chapter 48 has the full version; the other chapters are steps.

100k members! To celebrate, what is your favorite piece of C code you have written?
An asteroids game. 2,200 lines of C (with SDL2). Best bit is the collision detection which I devised; it's pixel perfect and runs at 60 fps. Windows source code is here (use the asteroids_ch48.zip file) https://github.com/David-H-Bolton/LearnC and Linux https://github.com/David-H-Bolton/LearnCOnLinux

raylib vs SDL2 vs Allegro. Which would you recommend for simple games?
Check out the SDL2 Game Tutorials, they're C only and cover basics, graphics, sound and bitmap fonts, see also the Github sources of this series. If you want to use TTF fonts there's another C tutorial at that site.
