I noticed that the new packet 3.5s that go to the embassy no longer include the petitioner and beneficiary to submit a letter of intent signed within 30 days of interview.

are most people still supposed to take that just to be safe or is it safe to assume that it's no longer needed?

assume nothing,

except there was some mailroom staff replacement at Islamabad and they forgot to add in the notice when mailing out packet 3.
