I've resisted moving to a whitelist approach because I get a lot of
new contact emails for business. I haven't noticed any other businesses
I contact using this approach, and I suspect that it would be offputting
to new clients.

What do you all think? Would you consider it rude or inconvenient to
have to reply to a whitelist message? Several major linux names use
them now, and I don't mind if its going to a "I get way too much mail
because I'm well known" person.
