Is http still needed for arch mirrors?

Hi! I will have some spare disk, compute and network in the near future and I'm thinking about using it for a public tier 2 mirror for arch.
After reviewing the wiki I see that the current used protocols are rsync, http and https. After review the http is still supported by a lot of mirrors.
Having let's encrypt certificates, is there any advantage that I'm not aware of for having http support at mirrors?
