At this point, I'd be happy to see others happily deploy a single-lambda optic of almost any variety! Since deploying 400G in a clients network (but 100G still being the preferred connection choice), any inquiry with respect to LR1, FR1 or DR+ is met with "no thanks, LR4 please."
If asked, I'd recommend FR1. They're available at a great price-point, and 2km reach is adequate for most applications.
