As a rule, yes any telnet is bad. Heck I disable FTP and force people to use scp.. There are going to be exceptions (i.e. talking to legacy mainframes and the like) but telnet is a technology for a different time.

Yes, Telnet is VERY bad, ssh should be used instead when possible. I have done as you have in disabling ftp, as it is just as bad as telnet. I have people either use scp or sftp.
