In their book Aircraft Flight: A Description of the Physical Properties of Aircraft Flight R.H. Barnard and D.R. Philpott dismiss the Bernoulli theory as a simple way of describing lift production which has unforunately stuck.

I think they also state this in the introduction to recent updates of A.C. Kermode's Mechanics of Flight.
