It still is, it's part of the WebRTC spec, and when you use a WebRTC data channel, you're using SCTP over DTLS over UDP! (or TCP, possibly with a TURN relay, which may end up tunneling the whole thing over TLS over TCP :))
There are a lot of acronyms in WebRTC, thankfully there's https://webrtcglossary.com https://webrtcglossary.com
