Yes and no :) IMO at least some of the notes are still valid, but see
this thread:
  http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.qpsmtpd/2006/08/msg5371.html
Keeping notes across the TLS setup is a simple patch, but I won't
commit it until all agree that we want to keep all notes (but: why
do we need connection->clone() then? ;-))

Another approach would be to add a "starttl-post" hook and let all
plugins set the connection notes they need/want again in there (think
of dnsbl, which will not block clients if the start with TLS,
currently).

... and to add some more new hooks:
http://ankh-morp.org/~vetinari/tmp/new_command.diff is what I'm
currently working on (The hardest part of this patch is still to do: the
AUTH* commands): any plugin can add new hooks / commands. Adding a
starttls-post hook in there would be easy.
