It should still be checked, as should DCCP and RDS (those are the only
other Layer 3 protocols that I have ever actually seen people try to
scan hosts with besides TCP/UDP/SCTP). SCTP itself is not hugely
prevalent outside of some clustering uses, but it is still seen on the
internet sometimes (for example, Gentoo has optional patches for OpenSSH
to use SCTP).

In theory it's unlikely, but if you use any kind of IPv4 multicast on
the WAN you will get IGMP (and MLD for IPv6 multicast). You may also
get some NDP queries also if you are using IPv6 and your WAN is itself
behind a NAT router (and yes, there are ISP's who do that).

How about FIN/ACK and FIN/PSH/URG?

Kind of, it's an ICMPv6 extension for detecting if SLACC configured
address is already in use. Most distro's have support for it enabled by
default.

Just because it's deprecated doesn't mean you shouldn't account for it,
although it does appear to get dropped by default by the kernel.

You should also test how different combinations of sysctls under
/proc/sys/net affect this (there are for example already sysctls for
ignoring certain types of ICMP packets).
