From someone living near Frankish, Hessian, and Swabian germany, this is still accurate (for now).
As far as I know, the traditional German dialects almost have disappeared after WW2. What’s remaining is people speaking regionally “coloured” variants of Standard German. E.g. Bodo Bach doesn’t speak traditional Hessian, but New-Hessian.
