Does anyone still do it that way?

With AMD64 style chips? Probably not. Multi-core systems really need a scheduler to get the most out of them so perhaps there are some very specific applications where that would be a win but I cannot think of anything that isn't super specific. For ARM64 chips with a small number of cores, sure that is still a very viable too for appliance type (application specific) applications.
