Gemini is no retro protocol.

It can. I you like you can transfer html 2.0 pages via Gemini transfer
protocol, as any other file type.
Please keep in mind, that all security demands, like advancing TLS
standards, are kept for security reasons - in general, not just for
Gemini. These are not toys to play on retro machines, but modern
standards with the aim of securing transports of data.
If you'd like to run old software, Gemini is already out of scope.
