Not any more - nowadays being aero is more important and that adds quite a bit of weight. And disc brake sets are also heavier than brake pads used to be.

The UCI weight limit still seems to be in place. Disc brakes have been allowed since 2018 it seems.

It is, but the minimum weight is harder to achieve with the extra weight of the disc brakes...

The Specialized Aethos shows it's not hard to achieve at all. These are regularly built up to less than UCI minimums.
