Yes that's correct. It is not a big change though - the drawing code
just moves to a new renderer class.

By the way, the support for XYZ/TMS tile layers within WMS provider
(since 2.18) should already cover requirements for most of the data
sources, so the need for a custom plugin layer in QMS is there just
for layers using a CRS / tiling different from standard Web Mercator.
The more recent versions of QMS already use the standard raster layer
for many sources instead of the plugin layer:
