So the fly by wire just means it is digital control to the hydraulic actuator instead of a physical cable running from the yoke or something to the actuator. They have not gotten rid of hydraulic actuators yet, they are working do that in the future but that is still a long ways out. Aircraft power systems also have significantly more redundancy so loss of control power is not a common mode failure due to have multiple dissimilar power sources.
