The challenge is: Many of the servers which block other servers will block servers solely because they don't also block servers. "Free speech zones" are considered servers that should be blocked by the most social justice inclined servers. So it's fairly difficult to find a server that can, indeed, talk with everyone in the fediverse.

I don't think that's inherently a problem, decentralization allows people to segment themselves off, and that is okay.

I've found that such servers are usually not worth federating with, though I usually silence these instances instead of full blocking them.

These instances are rare, the bigger problem as administrator is to find and media-block the instances that post NSFW or content illegal in your jurisdiction (switter, most japanese instances...)

Also bot spam if it occurs and the admin on the other end doesn't care...
