Time Machine (and macOS in general) isn’t really intended for large office setups, it’s a personal backup system.

Time machine hasn’t required AFP for years. SMB is in fact the preferred protocol.

The SMB server does require a few extensions not all servers have adopted, so perhaps that’s what you’re referring to?

I've found it works really well as a personal backup, it's one of the things that keeps me on Macos. I can't rely on Windows backup in the same way, I have to use 3rd party software.
