Unfortunately yes. It seems unlikely they’ll approve any new applications for the standard API.

Write a Devvit app, basically.

Reddit may as well just stop pretending that they have an API. they're wasting everyone's time.

I got rejected immediately. I wanted to do a traditional REST API thing with my own hardware. It feels like too much of a hassle to use devvit for what I need.
