If all of your experience of these things dates back ten to twenty years, I’d encourage you to look at the actual current requirements now, which are what matters to people trying to do things now.

No, it doesn't. The only experience I have that's that old is apartment renting and job acquisition.
And I guarantee you that
1) I can still get a job without ever presenting a photo ID. (Look closely at the I-9 acceptable documents lists B and C.)
2) I can get a reasonable apartment without presenting ID or submitting to a background check by committing to paying the first year's and every subsequent year's rent in advance.
