 Nu> What's the rationale behind using TelnetS over SSH?

I don't think there is a good reason to use telnets over ssh. There is a reason to use telnets over telnet.

 Nu> As far as I'm aware the RFC never made it out of draft whereas of course
 Nu> SSH is widely adopted.

I never knew telnets never moved beyond the draft stage and I don't know why that is. Duece's reason for adding telnets was to support BBSs that use it if I read his comment right.

When I ran debian many years ago there was a telnet-ssl package you could install. If that package is still there (I'm not sure) it could make telnets easier to install and use.
