Yes. To summarize the old thread, this is what I have since then in my
config file to use with | <#> |:

  (add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook
            #'f-ox-filter-table-column-del)
  (defun f-ox-filter-table-column-del (back-end)
    (while (re-search-forward "^[ \t]*|\\(.*|\\)? *\\(<#>\\) *|" nil t)
      (goto-char (match-beginning 2))
      (org-table-delete-column)
      (beginning-of-line)))

On my list it is still in someday/maybe, not likely to change. The
"problem" is that the above code is already enough.

Quoting from the old thread:
