Yes and no!

The entire ENGINE API is deprecated. Existing ENGINE authors should look
to convert their engines to providers instead.

However, although they are deprecated they do still *work*, i.e. the
ENGINE support has not been removed (yet). So if you need to use an
ENGINE in 3.0, then it should be fine - but until such time as the
ENGINE authors update the ENGINE to be a provider you will have to live
with the various deprecation warnings (or suppress them).
