Yes, the requirements are less strict now. However, right below the part you're referencing, the linked documentation clearly states that:
The requirements that are imposed on the elements depend on the actual operations performed on the container. Generally, it is required that element type is a complete type and meets the requirements of Erasable, but many member functions impose stricter requirements. (since C++11)
References don't meet the requirements of Erasable, therefore they still can't work.
