I don’t think the landscape has changed much since then. However, from my experience you should do everything possible to avoid a headless browser for scraping. It’s in the region of 10-100x slower and significantly more resource intensive, even if you carefully block unwanted requests (images, css, video, ads).
Obviously sometimes you have to go that route.
