As someone who has taken this iteration of the course and read most of the original SICP, I actually think this new CS61A does a really good job of covering the same material as the original SICP while introducing beginners to a useful rather than esoteric language. The capstone project is still writing a scheme interpreter, just in Python. We still do actually write some code in Scheme, just in the later portion of the class.
