My answer to the title is "no" for the same reason we're still using email protocols designed in 1985. I guess the counterpoint would be systemd.

TFA says "Therefore, we argue that the POSIX era is over, and future designs need to transcend POSIX." So they're actually not answering their own question, they're saying "the answer should be x" which is subtly different. There are a lot of should-be's in computing.

Since I moved into managed languages I never cared about POSIX any longer, as long as the runtime supports the underlying hardware, OS or hypervisor, I am good.

Ironically, while I am an heavy email user, at work it is mostly used for internal newsletters, all the communication happens over Slack.
