No. Absolutely not. What other position would replace it? For something to become obsolete there has to be no need for it anymore or to be replaced by something better. "Guard" and it's variations will always be the best bottom position you can be in by definition, and as such will never be obsolete.
Some fighters' guard is not very good, and that may make it seem ineffective... but what would that fighter have done if he hadn't pulled guard? Work from mount or side control? Give up his back? Those are not better options.
No disrespect to TS, but this is kind of a silly topic really.
