Not completely.  There are still people who say it.  My Italian siddur
(Machzor Livorno) has this bracha, with a note that some don't say it.

But most people did drop this bracha, due to the Rosh's opposition.

See also the long bracha on Pidyon Haben that was said in the Rosh's
day, and to which he objected.
