It is, yes. That no longer works in systemd.

The instructions from the bot in #debian say to add fsck.mode=force
to the kernel parameters. Perhaps your variant is some sort of alias.
I am not aware of any one-shot variant that can be used *before*
rebooting, without being physically present at the console. Sadly.
The closest approximation would be to permanently edit the grub menu,
reboot, and then restore your backup copy of the grub menu.
