The fun bit, at least as I understand it, with the move to more and more Electron based apps, this is somewhat moot since those apps draw their own thing. There are still performance improvements RDP brings over a simple "blit everything" protocol, but they're smaller and smaller.
My biggest complaint with RDP in general is how many Windows apps react poorly to changing resolutions and DPI. I'm practically an expert now in rescuing windows that have decided "I was over at here on the right side of your ultra-wide monitor, so I'm still over here in this no man's land on this tiny RDP resolution."
