No, the situation has not changed to this respect.

I reckon your use-case makes sense, but I'm not sure how useful it would
be in general.

It would be a bit like being able to open several email inboxes at the
same time, for the sake of comparing informations from various folders.

Email inboxes and agenda views are made to be _processed_: having more
than one open at the same time might lead to the bad habit of fiddling
with buffers instead of processing agenda items...

Not a strong opinion, just a thought,
