Yes, it MIGHT still work. Or it might not. Support for it has
been officially removed. Whatever the 70-persistent-net.rules file
does on your system is unique to your system.
https://wiki.debian.org/NewInBuster#Network_interface_name_migration
"The buster release notes warn that the
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules method for assigning
persistent network interface names is no longer supported."
https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#migrate-interface-names
"If your system was upgraded from an earlier release, and still uses
the old-style network interface names that were deprecated with stretch
(such as eth0 or wlan0), you should be aware that the mechanism of
defining their names via /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is
officially not supported by udev in buster (while it may still work
in some cases)."
