It is said that:
an optimist says the glass of water is half full
a pessimist says the glass of water is half empty
an engineer says the size of the glass was incorrectly specified.
If I were building a home lab, I'd look at the availability of TR
devices as a way to add, cheaply, more routers. At layer 3, it
doesn't matter if you are interconnecting with Ethernet or Token Ring.
Sure, you'll want some Ethernets for Ethernet-only bridging and other
topics. But the availability of cheap TR gear lets you add more
routing complexity at low cost. There's also no reason why you can't
use boxes that have TR, ISDN, and serial interfaces.
