It depends on what you consider the slipper clutch is used for as it has two purposes.
The slipper is used so there is some give in the transmission, so the shock loads of landings on the transmissions don't strip teeth of the gears, so there will always be a need for some sort of slipper in there even with traction control.
If you use the slipper as a form of traction control and you are thinking of an ESC that varies the motor power depending on wheel spin and grip, that was banned 20 years ago when LRP developed a proper system with wheel mounted sensors and it was felt in the lower grip conditions we were racing back then that it would bring unnecessary expense to the sport as everyone would have to buy a new sensored ESC to keep up.
