Is this still valid or have things shifted considerably since then?
Still valid, but there are a couple of caveats in there. Pakistan implemented a very high excise tax a couple of years ago, so despite it looking cheap on the base fare, that's an unavoidable tax and pushes it above several other departure points. India's tax also pushes it above an ex-TYO. So if you want an ex-Asia, ex-Japan is still cheapest, but with ex-India you can do stopovers in Japan that you can't do ex-Japan.

I realize this doesn't apply for everyone, but US citizens do not have to worry about that.
I went to Libya last year, which would also be a no-no for a non-US citizen wanting to retain ESTA access, but nothing the USG can do about it for a US citizen.
