I have not tried it, but it looks like everything still supports the Kinect. The Driver station still has a kinect indicator in the diagnostic tab and LabVIEW still has Kinect VIs in the DriverStation folder. See here for the documentation:

edit: checked match videos of last year, there was no kinect station like there was in rebound rumble.

As you noted, there was no kinect station last year. However, it was still possible to use the Kinect from the drivers station.
