No. SLAAC remains a MUST. DHCPv6 though is now a SHOULD. For one thing, DHCP doesn't have an option configure on-link prefixes, so we still need SLAAC. What we should have done oh-so-long-ago is ensure that you could configure/operate a network with just DHCP (and no SLAAC at all) and vice versa, and than made both a MUST on hosts. That way, operators truly have the choice as to which to use and everything would just work.
