From the very beginning of our company (1994), we had no setuid
executables on our shell server.  (We finally discontinued the service at the
end of June -- the end of an era!)

I see now on this system (Mint 21.3) that ping is no longer setuid.
(Nowadays, it uses Linux capabilities.)  Back in the day, it was setuid,
but we replaced it with a client that reached out to a "ping server" that
did the job.
