Probably M-x org-ref-insert-ref-link will do what you want. A lot of things got "simplified" in version 3 to leverage completing-read more natively. helm-mode should work with org-ref-insert-ref-link.

See https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref#configuration for some details on how to configure v3 with helm.

repository, but now the function I was using for a long time

org-ref-helm-insert-cite-link

Seems to be gone, what happened?
