It remains very good to remove SFH mandates, but it probably won't result in significant change for a good long while.
Purely from the underlying economics, you'd be surprised but in many cases the "highest and best" use of land will still be to maintain an existing detached house.
This policy however could make it that in cases where existing property is a tear down, and we're talking about what to build on bare land, it makes more sense to build with intenser uses.
