It's still the case on a Series X. There are separate pools for applications and games, as well, and the Series X is able to keep state for multiple running games at once, which is nice.
The only downside is that it seems to cause a certain amount of pain with applications sometimes not working when there's a contest over sending Dolby to a receiver.
On the time thing: turns out that PlayStation 3 and 4 will stop letting you run games if you replace the battery and it can't re-sync time with the PSN.

To be more precise, the "if your battery dies you can't play games" thing only applies to downloaded PS3 games. It does apply to all PS4 games (both physical and digital) though.
