Seriously, haven't used FTP in years.

Is there any use case for it now that could not be handled via HTTP(S) or WebDAV?

It is much more lightweight and easier and quicker to set-up.

If you need a quick and easy setup, lighttpd will let you serve an HTTP directory listing within 10 minutes. And probably more safely than FTP. With an additional 10 minutes, you can setup certbot to handle certificate rotation.
