> SSRF is an extremely bad vulnerability; it's usually game-over on penetration tests

It's usually not. What can you do via HTTP protocol inside the network? Check out ssrf bible.

You can smuggle memcached text protocol over HTTP if you can insert a linefeed. I think tptacek meant "bad vulnerability" as in serious, not trivial.
SSRF usually happens inside a request library that doesn't allow linefeeds. SSRF in general is serious, but HTTP GET SSRF is useless on most hosts.
