According to numerous posts on TripAdvisor, yes, the FMM cards are in the process of being eliminated. (ie not being replaced with the online version, but actually eliminated)
The posts are popping up in a few of the destination forums on TA.
It sounds like it’s being done port by port — so not everywhere yet.
Here’s one of the posts:

Currently, in La Paz and Puerto
Vallarta and likely some other airports, when you enter
Mexico, you will not be issued a FMM. You will have a stamp in your passport and in that stamp will be written the number of days you may be in Mexico.Please note, the FMM cards are being eliminated starting July 28, 2022. When a person enters Mexico, you will not be issued a FMM. You will have a stamp in your passport and in that stamp will be written the number of days you may be in Mexico.
Similarly, when a person has a pre-approved visa from a Mexican consulate, in their passport, a FMM will not be issued and a date will be stamped on the pre-approved visa. As well, it will be written CANJE 30 days.
When a TR or PR resident leaves Mexico your passport is stamped with date and written is your visa status and SALIDA. And when entering Mexico, stamped with date, visa status and the word ENTRADA."
If true, it sounds like a work in progress. If it’s being phased in at only some airports, it could be a challenge if you fly into one airport that’s already done away with the FMM and then depart from somewhere else that’s still using them.
