Well, I disagree that the seven head method and scott's construction methods are useful when it comes to developing your capabilities to eyeball and correct mistakes from eyeballing. I believe the better alternative to develop said skills is to simply get mileage from using reference in your eyeballing attempts. However, this is personal opinion so I will concede that it depends on how you prefer to approach the learning process.

As for the programs making his techniques useless, they do make them useless, but not for the purposes you listed. His construction methods were always useless for fast, iterative design. When it comes to that, eyeballing was and still is strictly used until you narrow down the design direction. What his techniques were useful for was the accuracy of the designs, making them useful for product, industrial, and especially architectural design; all of which now replaced by CAD as opposed to technical drawing. When it comes to concept art, pic related is what you should expect from the iterative design and, as you can see, measurements aren't prominent as it's all pretty much eye balled, so once again his techniques aren't really useful in that front regardless of 3D prevalence.
