No it does not they have craftworld in the new codex kind of like they have cults in the chaos codex.
Just not as much stuff broken out to be different though.

technically it is just one list now, but they have 'fluff' sections that describe what the craftworld is like, what units it features, etc.
I also think that the codex is flexible enough that most of the old craftworld armies are still legal, although some units may have changed categories.
you can still run all bikes and skimmers legally, however.

I don't have the codex here, so I'll have to check if wraithguard are troops or elites now. Wraithlord is a heavy.
they have a new rule where if there isn't a psyker within 6" they have to test if they are 'dumb' for the turn, i think if you roll a 1 on a d6 they can't move or shoot that turn.

It is not viable. the new Eldar book's deign is meant to accomadate any army of the major craftworlds without mucking it up with special rules and 50 man seer councils.
to add to this, The Ulthwe strike force is not meant to ber a viable army composition either.
Hope this helps!

You can replicate a Wraithguard army by taking 10 man wraithguard squads as troop units (they count as troops if taken as full sized squads) and take wraithlords as you HS choices.
