Yes agreed. I suspect it will collapse to “non-time critical traffic will run on HTTPS” and “everything else will run on UDP, using their own ports”, except for maybe a couple of golden oldies like NTP, FTP, SMTP/POP/IMAP.

POP and IMAP are pretty much dead at this point. Email is basically dead at this point. Want to spin up a machine and have it email you system messages? Nope. Want to run a Python script that sends to gmail? lol. mailtrap.io/blog/gmail-smtp/
On all my microservers I have pretty much only 22, 80, and 443 open. I try to interact exclusively over web ports for as much as possible.
