Can you still summon units without paying points for them?
Also, can you chain summon where a successfully summoned unit with summoning ability summon additional units?

Summoned units don't cost points. Any restrictions on summoning depend on the particular book. The ones that summon based on alternative resources (fate points, etc) IIRC are all restricted to summoning only one unit per turn, but nothing in 3.0 would change the ability of say FEC to summon multiple units a turn using warscroll abilities I don't think. If the summoning is tied to a command ability, you can now only do a given command ability once per phase, that's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that 3.0 would have changed, but I don't remember if anyone has any of those that aren't already limited to once per turn.

The other indirect thing with summoning in 3rd is the number of scenario scoring tasks that specify starting army which doesn’t include summons units.

Thats a positive for me. 2nd edition bonkers summoning is one of the reasons I sold off all my stuff and had to step out. It was ridiculous.

Thanks for the clarifications. I remember liking the changes to limit summoning near the end of first edition iirc.
