Shielded patch cables in rack or just UTP?

There was discussion about cables recently in /r/homelab

And I was quite surprised when people claimed that even in data centers the use of just UTP in racks is common.

Whats the opinion on this in here?

Is UTP really enough for anyone who is not next to some huge machinery that gives off interfierence?

What if the cables that are wired through offices and buildings are shielded cat6a, is it wise to go just utp cat6a in the rack?

What about PoE preference?
