The ip address is also not going to be shared with apps anymore starting in iOS 13

How? When an app makes an API request, the client IP address is (necessarily) exposed to the server.

Oh, you’re right of course, I was misremembering that they won’t be able to get the ssids of nearby wifi networks. However, a vpn is a solution to the ip address problem.
