I guess it depends on the carrier. For an initial issue type rating (737), we weren't required to do a raw data ILS (without FD). We had to fly a manual ILS, but we were allowed a FD. I still occasionally fly raw data ILS' - I did one into LHR the other day on a nice day. I tried to keep my head inside a smuch as possible, and kept it comfortably within IR limits to 200'. Great fun too! Don't forget we have a track line on the EHSI which makes it a lot easier.
(We did practice raw data ILS' in the sim, but just weren't actually tested on them. I was required to do a couple durimg my line training though).
