Yes, it should still work. Just new devices would not be automatically added.

Newer udev versions dropped all persistent rule generators, we will
not create any system config from device hotplug handlers anymore. It
turned out to be the wrong thing and it created more problems than it
solved.

Regarding the initial question, there are no known kernel changes
which would make these rules not work anymore. The only reports so far
are from people who somehow enabled IDE drivers (/dev/hda) instead of
libata (/dev/sr0), which will not work with the rules.

You might want to check with:
  udevadm test /sys/class/block/sr0
if it tells what's going wrong.
