Yes.

AFAIK we've moved to mostly using AR codes and game specific hacks to enable widescreen in games that are historically 4:3 (Most GC games, all wii games are widescreen IIRC) as they are more stable and more reliable. Widescreen hack either broke stuff or didn't work a lot of the time by itself.
If I'm not mistaken, some games require an AR code + aspect ratio setting + widescreen hack on and some just require AR code + aspect ratio setting.
Widescreen hack by itself rarely works.
People still use the widescreen hack too - it's a bit of a personal choice. (I don't.) It usually doesn't break that much, other than objects at the edge of the screen not appearing and HUDs having incorrect aspect ratios. AR codes are of course better, but they're only available for a few games.
