Depends on the type of user base, actually.

I've worked for a place serving several hundred very tech-savvy
engineers. We get almost zero user questions or related connectivity
escalations for the entire year. ;-) And that's even with use of a
non-standard port for years!

But I'm definitely under *NO* illusion that if I did this with the wider
audience -- and very varied computing skills -- of the entire company,
that idea would have had died on the vine, and probably rightfully so.

Ultimately, the SA/engineer chooses the best tool in the toolbelt for
their own organization's needs. :) So I trust that your approach was the
best possible option considering your own org's needs.
