Title: With Drupal 8.6+ is form_mode_manager still needed? » With Drupal 8.6+ is form_mode_manager still needed? Can form_manager be optional?

There is the experimental layout_display module in Drupal 8.6+ core to consider.
I think that also does work with forms

Form Mode Manager gives us additional custom Form Modes since D8 comes with multiple View Modes but not multiple Form Modes (see this documentation page). I'm not familiar with the layout_display module and I can't find it in 8.6.

I think you may be referring to the currently experimental Field Layout module.

That module looks like it will go away at some point and the functionality moved to the Field UI module, according to this issue. When that happens, we will definitely remove the Form Mode Manager module.

The issue listed above (getting multiple form modes in core thus allowing us to remove Form Mode Manager) has been bumped to Drupal 10 thus this isn't going to change anytime soon. Closing.
