Generally, that would be the case. Technically, the site will be slower, but you probably wont notice.
The most issues you would get are if your browser is old(er) and cannot handle the later SSL (TLS) versions that are now in use.
Most sites (inc CF) now disable SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLS 1.0.
Indeed, most modern browsers dont support them now either.
TLS 1.1 & 1.2 are the most common (1.1 is old now, but most sites still support it).
TLS 1.3 is the latest version, but is still not supported by many sites.

We are perfectly aware of what you think.
Its not, and you're wrong, and pretty much everyone will move to using it.
Regardless of the FUD, and whether its always strictly necessary, there are no significant downsides to using it.
http hasnt been an option here since Jan 2018, and that wont ever change.
