no, it is easy to restrict ssh to ONLY sftp and chroot and with
simple bind-mounts you can completly replace ftp, doing that here
in production over years with 3 simple scripts

[root at localhost:~]$ mount | grep sftp-homes | wc -l
168

* create and maintain the mountpoints from the backend
* mount all bind-mounts at boot
* unmount them before shutdown
* internally you can use the same for userbased smb shares

that's why i go that angry by the broken coreutils "df"
behavior which now luckily no longer lists all bind-mounts
but is still a mess and nobody cares
