There is just as big a block of addresses with class D addresses for 
broadcast. Is broadcast really even a thing these days?

It's multicast and no, but it hardly matters.

It's the same problem, if you wanted to turn it into unicast space you'd need
a global forklift upgrade.

FWIW, I see a trickle of class D traffic coming through my router but no class E.
