Not since around 2006 model year.
The transmission pan has two plugs on the bottom. The regular bolt head is the drain plug, the Allen key head is the level plug.
There's a procedure for using the level plug correctly...engine running, vehicle level, gear in park, transmission fluid temp within a certain range, then remove the plug and fluid should lightly trickle out. If not, add more via the huge fill plug on the side of the trans case and repeat. Total PITA compared to a dipstick.
