From the ICANN RDAP FAQ:
Will RDAP replace web-based and port 43 WHOIS?
ICANN-accredited registrars currently must provide access to registration data to the public in two ways:
- An interactive web page provided on the registrar's website (web-based WHOIS); and
- WHOIS (port 43) lookup as defined by RFC 3912.
In the short term, RDAP will not replace web-based or port 43 WHOIS. Based on current policies and agreements, contracted parties will be required to implement RDAP in addition to (port 43) WHOIS and web-based WHOIS.
Is there a TLD overview?
I found one: https://deployment.rdap.org/
I found one: https://deployment.rdap.org/
Seems outdated: https://rdap.sidn.nl/domain/example.nl
RFC 9224 - Finding the Authoritative Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) Service / https://www.iana.org/assignments/rdap-dns/rdap-dns.xhtml
So this should be a more official source: https://data.iana.org/rdap/dns.json (also interesting: https://data.iana.org/rdap/). This also does not list nl
/ SIDN. So maybe the SIDN RDAP it's still in beta, or it's not yet requested to add it.
Conclusion - A Dutch Ministry of Digital Affairs could take action on these points:
Searching for RDAP leads to potatoes!
NB: Legal formulation is not my intention. First I think of progressive insight.

The answer to "How to successfully use RDAP protocol instead of WHOIS?" is: there are no way to successfully use RDAP, only, perhaps, to try some experimental implementation... But even experimental, I not know how to try it.
For internet.nl, registration of a webdomain may become of additional value. All kinds of new scripts become annoyingly complicated.
On https://rdap.hostingtool.nl/ my modeling should minimize the gap between technical and functional understanding. Its code is on https://github.com/janwillemstegink/rdap_view_model.
Think about helping make RDAP a success. As with the DNS discussion about a new authority, the RDAP protocol also requires maintenance by an authority.
