The documentation currently says it's deprecated, but staff says

We are officially continuing with the deprecation of the traversal API, BUT it will stick around and will be maintained until a suitable replacement is available, and that may not happen for awhile. We won't be pulling the rug out from under anyone's feet, this is just a step in preparation for something new.

No, there are many cases where a manual traversal is useful. The Traversal class is indeed deprecated but the TraversalDescription isn't. You can get it via GraphDatabaseService#traversalDescription().
