I'm looking at getting a new drone that gets around this by not requiring remote id. It's based on weight I believe. The one I'm looking at is far too small.
It depends on whether you are operating in a limited definition of recreational. If it ain't recreational, or (some people think this is actually and) in a FRIA, and under 250g, you get to play the registration, and remote ID game.
It still isn't practical for avoidance with manned aircraft, but since the ARC decided that manned aircraft should yield to a delivery drone below 400 feet, dependent on whether the manned aircraft has an ADS-B beacon that the drone can pick up, there goes the whole idea of keeping us all safe. Everybody, manned and unmanned clear the air for the yet to be feasible drone delivery operations.

It's nice to know that the local law enforcement with some ex parte communication from the FAA will be doing most of the enforcement of the drone regulations.
