Recency of development is a criterion for choosing a tool. (?)
The ball-peen hammer as we know it would have been developed before 1900.
Might have been prior to 1800. The pneumatic hammer was developed in the
1920s and '30s. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_hammer_(fabrication) )
Therefore we should always choose the pneumatic rather than the ball-peen.
Recency is minded but shouldn't dictate.

This scenario is in one machine which is running shorewall. The LAN
has another firewall. What are the risks to the telnet protocol in
this case?

Valid point.
Incidently the hyperlinks in my reply to Charles Curley
( https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/10/msg00479.html ) seem OK.
The list server is is flummoxed when there are more than 2 or 3 or 4
References? Then I should insert only two references. By hasty count,
6 mouse clicks.
