I still do, when parts are available. Getting hard to buy non surface
mount components as simple as capacitors though.

I'm glad I have my roll of Kestor five core solder. That
particular roll I bought back in the 70's and it always
works on anything electronic.

A pediatrician I know (doctor for children) tells me that
lead poisoning in kids is still a very real problem. Lead
free paint and plumbing is a very real advantage.
I figure that circuit boards are not likely to be eaten, or
much exposure to people. As such, that's plenty safe for my
life.
