I am all for banning FT8 etc from all contesting.  It's a DX mode. Even 
if the proper report could be entered in the FT8 contest mode, 
invariably many will be running standard mode and then someone has to 
jump through hoops to try and complete the contact.  Every time I tried 
doing it, it was a pain.

RTTY on the other hand is capable.  But I never worked anyone in a QSO 
party on RTTY.  I suspect that would be boring.
