Knowing rudiments will always be useful, and never be a thing of the past. Some rudiments are useless, but the majority were listed so when that pattern came up it would be as simple as playing it like everything else. If it weren't for rudiments when you saw PDD's you'd pee in your pants, but you've practiced them so you've got nothing to worry about them. It's why winds do scales too.
