OAuth 2.1 makes PKCE a requirement. I'm of two minds about PKCE for Confidential Clients, but it isn't a substantially more complex flow even if Confidential Clients benefit far less from PKCE than Public Clients, and I see the benefit to always doing it. I am inclined to agree that with PKCE, replay attacks are substantially less of a risk, but I need to think more about this (and I missed today's meeting, so I should look over the notes before commenting too deeply).
