SDR is intended for Casual MM it seems - in the simplest terms it's like
Cloudflare but for gameservers. Other games eg CS:GO already use the
system for official MM.
While I'd be interested in seeing what they do with it, I don't think
it's going to be rolled out to server operators. Can't say for sure
because I'm not Eric or John (or whoever else still contributes to TF2).
As a sidenote, I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of chat over Valve
removing disconnect reasons for clients (all disconnects are now "Client
Disconnect" instead of whatever the server sends, regardless of Casual
or non-casual server). Would very much like to see it back as it's
useful for informing clients.

So just to clarify. Using the SDR will remain optional right? I'd
ideally like to not require a dependency on Steam servers to play the
game as they are frequently down and some people might prefer connecting
directly
