Rabbits require less space, less food, sturdy as fuck, much easily controlled and maintained, have fuck ton of babies, you can literally leave the fuckers outside during winter (just give them a small wooden box, dont be a dick), fur, meat... forget about it
You could cull the herd of rabbits by either using the young ones as a type of veal but from rabbits, as bait for larger predators, or just plain food for larger predators you've already captured.
Actually, the only breed of goat I've ever known to really have smelly milk is the Toggenburg breed (and it's still fine for making cheese and stuff). Lamanchas and Nubians tend to have very rich and creamy milk that is quite drinkable.
Goats were actually one of the first animals to ever be domesticated by humans, IIRC.

Cons:
-no smelly milk
-you cant ride them to battle like goats

You might end up with rabbit starvation, although that is probably not a huge issue.

Its a survival situation. And maybe supplement it with Cuy (guinea pigs) or do all rodents suffer from lack of dietary fat.

Nubian goats look dopey as hell, I loved raising them.

I have two rabbits as outdoor pets. Their pre-pelletized poop is great for fertilizer.
