I think protocol churn extends well past datacenters and homa, with the need for 21st century domestic protocols to remove all of the baggage from tcp/ip completely.
TCP/IP could be offshored where the undersea fiber meets the shore and setup perimeter dataedge servers as the only TCP/IP nodes on domestic boundaries.
For a domestic protocol, it does not need to be routable and saves even more overhead (I liked the tcp joke in the comments btw).
Encapsulation over a domestic protocol would still make subscriptions to a tcp/ip service available, but IMO, domestic boundaries would be better served with a modern domestic protocol.
Hypothetically speaking, if every TLD was established on its own unique protocol in the original design, Internet 1.0 would have matured much differently. Every TLD is a .com nowadays anyways, too ambiguous to be of any use (and the .org debacle still makes me laugh. They forgot what an organization was and just blended into a .com reject. That mission statement was just toilet paper after the tug-of-war).
As it turns out, one size does not fit all with protocols. Multiprotocol networks within domestic borders without tcp/ip wouldn't change any of the benefits of a data network.
