I think sometimes we get too caught up in some of this, for most of us it will make no difference to the overall impact and quality of our images.
Those using up to date equipment and making 'normal' images are not affected.
Actually that's not true!
If you put a current 50mm lens (1.8or1.4) on any body and photograph dark footwear against a white background in studio...you get a very distinct hot spot. I had to routinely digitise this out ...for several years!!
Whilst even this may not be classed as 'normal' photography it demonstrates that the hotspot from even some modern lenses, without any camera adaptations, is still there. It's only the confusion of colours and detail in general photography that disguises it. Try taking any high contrast subjects centred in the middle of the frame and you run the risk of seeing a hotspot.
