You can certainly continue to use xorg.conf for now.

The ability to avoid using xorg.conf just means that autodetection gets
better; in particular, if your display can tell you its size, and the driver
knows how to ask, Xorg can use that.  With the intel driver, you may need to
use the new modesetting branch in order for the autodetection to work
correctly.
