Is that still true in 2020? Or is the simulation getting good enough to skip the FPGA prototyping phase?

Its still very much true. ASIC designs are described as massively parallel tiny communicating sequential processes. FPGA's are also extremely fine-grained CSP, to a degree that is much finer than anything a CPU can produce today.
