FWIW, ssh usually provides options to connect, even using
deprecated/unsafe methods.

For some very old local servers, I recently needed to add
the 2 following options in my .ssh/config to connect:

   Host very-old-gnu-linux-host
       ...  
       HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss
       PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa
      
in my ssh config (I prefer to use an ssh config file so that the
config is available for any ssh connection to that old server,
including TRAMP), but you shoud be able to pass the same option on the
command line configuring TRAMP if you so prefer.
