In short you no longer need to do this to ensure server reliability (the structures which hold this information are now thread-safe) - no more crashes because of locking. (5 year-old Yay!) (Just kidding - we went straight from 4.5 to 7 so I know exactly where you're coming from.) However you still may need to lock to protect your data for application/design reasons (race-conditions for example). It's rare that you'll need to lock whole scopes however and for the most part named locks should provide all the utility you need without dragging performance.
