The modes still exist, but there are no longer separate cards and programs for each mode.

For a US or Canadian citizen, it is not even required to have a passport in order to get NEXUS; in those cases it clearly does not require an associated passport to be a valid document in its own right. The requirement for document updates is likely to be for Global Entry purposes, since using GE kiosks (except at the NEXUS preclearance locations) requires a passport or I-551.
