I think RDAP is going to be adopted by more and more ccTLDs as well. WHOIS is not a particularly well liked protocol (I was at an IETF meeting where ICANN did a presentation on the timeline and people were literally cheering for the demise of WHOIS).
Disclosure: Work in the ccTLD space.
100% agree that there will be more ccTLD operators that will implement RDAP. The sooner we're on a consistent protocol the better!
Self-plug: I run a little mastodon/activity pub bot that monitors DNS RDAP adoption according to the official bootstrap file: https://social.haukeluebbers.de/@stateofrdap
