A few years ago, I worked on an app where some of the state was kept in the session and some was on the url as GET params. We ran into an issue where some browsers would only accept urls that were less than 1024 chars long. Is that still an issue today?

Yes. I had a bug report last year to deal with this due to the url being cut off in the browser with Ajax GET requests. I converted to a POST request which has no length limitations.
The limit disappeared after ie9, however can and should are different things here
