How do you feel about turn-based combat? Should more modern games adopt it, or is it best left as a thing of the past?

I enjoy both turn-based and action combat. I like how turn-based combat allows for some strategies without being overly complex like in most TRPG.
I was a big fan of Final Fantasy 7 OG, but I can't get into FF7 remake mainly because of the hybrid combat. I would rather have it turn-based like in the original.
Turn-based games I like:
Final Fantasy 5,6,7,9,10. Dragon Quest series, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG
Action-based RPG I like:
Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Skyrim
most of the traditional roguelike genre lacks any kinda story beyond "well, you're an adventurer in a dungeon", the gameplay is exclusively turn-based with positioning, build planning, emergent gameplay and risk management at the heart of it.
the only thing, roguelikes don't have modal combat of JRPGs. NO-SKIN and Darkest Dungeon are the greatest examples of modal turn-based combat for me.
Yeah, I liked Darkest Dungeon, even though the runs were too long.
I suppose I was thinking more of JRPGs, not indies.
