Is putting all assets into a single png/svg to reduce total requests a dead practice now?

I guess http/2 support on CDN made this a useless (and tedious) optimization

There was also the issue on an ancient version of IE that it could only load a few requests at the same time.

As someone who browses the source of a lot of commercial web sites, I can say it's still dead common.

There's been a lot of static about new technologies coming that will make this unnecessary, but that don't help anyone today.

Should be done only if you have to load lots of small images. If you want to render above the fold fast reduceassets there and load them directly.
