I found a few hundred queries per day in the Whois query logs for e164.arpa domains. > My (perhaps mistaken) impression has been that while it was an interesting > idea in theory, in practice non-technical considerations made public ENUM > deployment challenging at best, a non-starter at worst.

If we need to continue to support e164.arpa (per RFC 3245), then I suggest we should also support it in RDAP. The NCC can create a short draft RFC to extend the RDAP domain object type, and update Whois to match. We can request the other RIRs to add a redirect in RDAP for e164.arpa.
