I've not really kept up with the civilian engine sector over the past 15 years and I'd be interested to know if any modern civvy turbofan uses pyrometers.
Not 100% positive about this, but I believe GE still uses the pyrometer system on the GE90-94B - not bothering to retrofit to the -1115B style EGT. Granted I don't think the GE90-94B is still in production having be superseded by the -115B.
The GE90-94B was a pretty lousy engine out of the box (unreliable and high maintenance), but matured very nicely providing the basis for the -115B.
