Most datancenters are lost once the internal network is hacked so I think that's a different issue. Encryption wouldn't help either because the attacker could get the keys too.

Encrypted links between processes inside a data center is still a good thing: It protects against malicious actors sniffing traffic (without compromising the machines in the data center)
