Sudden death still applies to some CA 2018 missions it's just no longer a blanket rule.
It was amended to prevent people being able to build to table your opponents over having to take an army that can actually complete objectives/win conditions.

Except some of the win conditions actually make certain codex's/builds unable to compete mono.
