Yes, the default config works as before.

Nothing will change. dnsmasq is and was the default DHCPv4 server in LEDE.

To not ship two DHCPv4 servers by default and save some bytes.

If you are using a development snapshot, you should expect that stuff
breaks/changes from time to time. If there are any groundbreaking
changes, they will be most likely mentioned in the release notes of a
_stable_ release.
