ifconfig got deprecated because it didn't match how networking worked in the kernel.
If you're using ifconfig on linux[1] for the last 10 years, I'm going to negatively look on your claimed expertise
As for point-to-point links, that's what simple link-local addresses are, added in ipv6. And why IP-IP is superior to OSPF, both because it doesn't hardcode address sizes and because it runs on Layer 2.
[1] ifconfig on other systems might be the right command
