As far as I know, (part of) RFC 1738 was just "updated" by RFC
2396.  It seems that it was actually obsoleted by RFC 4248 and
4266, neither of which however is about FTP.

So, my understanding is that developers who deal with FTP scheme
URIs would still look into and use RFC 1738 as one of references.

Thanks for the pointer.  It could be used as a source when it is
officially published.
