No. It means that the kernel package does not limit you to a
predefined policy for initramfs creators. *You* get to chose what
scripts you want to drop into /etc/kernel/postrm.d/ and
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/

No, they are not obsolete. But now you, as end user, have full
control: you can put in any scripts there that you want, not just the
ones kernel--package provides as examples. Or, if you so choose, elect
not to have any scripts at all (by building everything into your
kernel).
The 12.X kernel-packages are about expanding user choice.
