Ex-mormon with still mormon friends and family here. They 100% still do baptisms for the dead. They just legal have to either wait until enough generations have passed since the individuals death, or get the permission of the family. Obviously, yes every figure central to the Abrahamic faiths has been "baptized by proxy" into Mormonism. However, supercessionism is still a big factor in the belief system, at least for certain wards/congregations. Some of the stuff in the mormon specific texts, (ie Book of Mormon and Pearl of Great Price) is also very distinctively antisemitic and its kinda just brushed over.
Example (anecdotal tbf) following.
Way the ward I was raised in treated it was like "The Jews are G-d's chosen so we have to protect them from sinners" (read: Islam and or non Abrahamic faiths) and simultaneously also "The Jews are naturally sinners and fall away from the truth and faith every other generation until they are divinely punished."
(Honestly though, antisemitism is about par for the course with a faith that largely considers black skin to be the mark of Cain, won't let women hold positions of power, and also wouldn't let black men in the priesthood until they nearly had no choice but to open the doors. Not to mention the ancient aliens adjacent theory in the more secretive temple doctrine)
islam did supercessionism+ when they took all of our mythological figures and said that they had actually always been muslim all along. although i bet some christians have done this too.
