No. It has at least 8 years.

My old airline used EAG charts and MEHT was depicted in them, as well as the runway slope at the TDZ. I think that in that aspect, EAG is better than Jepp. The MEHT can be an important piece of info for some models. The slope awareness made me make better flares and landings.

I think that the land-within-60% rule allows for factors such as TCH. A 77 TCH means nearly 200 m extra and I find it quite excessive. As you say, LPC will account for every detail and that is good, but it still gives you a landing distance from 50', and it still stems from test pilot landings.

Personally I apply the 15% incrment rcommended by the FAA to assess the suitability of a runway when using the tables for a landing with abnormal configuration, when there is no requirement to land within 60%.
