It is good practice to always add SNI support. Server's that don't need
it will ignore it. Increasingly servers are requiring it. Unless you
happen to know the server's requirements before you start there is no
way of knowing before you start a connection whether the server will be
picky about it. This is one of the main reasons why the default
behaviour for s_client was changed between 1.1.0 and 1.1.1.

Yes 1.1.1 is backwards compatible with 1.1.0 so in theory it should be a
drop in replacement. I don't think we deprecated anything in 1.1.1 as
far as I remember so no-deprecated shouldn't make a difference. The
biggest change between 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 is the addition of TLSv1.3
support. This brings with it numerous implications for applications
using libssl which you should be aware of. See:
