There would still be minhag, but one could decide not to

If your father stood for kiddush and you decide based on Tosafos that you
want to sit, do you have to be mater Nedar for this? I think
not.<br><br>
The advent of Chassidus led to changing many minhagim, such as
davening Nusach Ashkenaz. Do you think that people were mater Nedar
at the time? I think not. I think they just began to follow
the changes that Chassidism introduced.<br><br>
