These days, you really don’t need multiple ports, reverse proxies that disambiguate via subdomain or path are incredibly easy to configure.

You've never needed, there's nothing new these days, just as many poorly configured apps that assume they're on a root path.

Reverse proxies are terrible to configure, add processing overhead to every request, violate security boundaries (cookies, localstore, CSP and other security headers are now shared) and introduce new bugs (rewrite didn't know a header, HTML element, JS variable, CSS text should/shouldn't be adjusted).

Yeah but if you have odd security needs and you don't want to terminate TLS in the cloud, you might not want that setup
