As far as I know, there has been no decision to remove dedicated mode. I for one would strongly oppose it. Arguments about bootstraps and BIOS are bogus: on a dedicated machine, you only need a bootstrap on the boot disk, so any additional disks can always be dedicated. But to answer your question: if you have to change from dedicated to a Microsoft compatible layout, yes, you'll have to rebuild all your file systems.
