I'm replaying the early AST quests. They don't talk about the constellations giving specific boosts, and the initial 'battle instance' no longer involves Leveva giving specific instructions on the use of each card. The large-scale idea of the cards granting strength to people in battle has not changed, and most of the plot is unaffected by the exact details of what the cards do besides "empower and heal". Which they still do.

However, having just done the Lv35 quest written to reward you with Royal Road, the concept is still talked about but you get nothing for it at the end.
