AFAIK, NO. We reproduced the FORWARD DELETE issue on a fresh install of Sonoma. Also, it doesn't appear that FORWARD DELETE (fn+Delete on a laptop) can be assigned to a shortcut.
Additionally, it's odd that long-time users who habitually use the FORWARD DELETE key only noticed the issue when Sonoma was published.
