I am 99% sure this is still a thing unless they changed within the last year, it's especially notable in Pagos where there is a dragon right at the cliff on the way to the forge, so you can get got in a very awkward moment. Though it is also possible to fight off dragons and kill them outright now, which is a big difference, especially at max level+elemental bonus, I often have done so to save people, or just out of catharsis.

This is actually a thing in the normal game as well, but used sparsely, a notable example are the bats at the very start of Sastasha, which are sound aggro, and if you turn on RP walk, you can just, well, walk past them, and they will leave you alone, it's just walking takes so much longer that running up and killing them is faster, but you can easily test it yourself.
