doing a new setup using methodologies that have already been tagged as deprecated seems to be a really bad idea. Even though it currently works, you can be certain that at some point down the road, it will cease to work... that is what deprecated means.
My LDAP server has been running for several years now and was initially setup to use ldaps. Only recently I wanted to use it for remote authentication which is how I ended up going down this path. It doesn't take that much effort to fix the LDAP server to use TLS which I will do as soon as I can get to it.
