I'm not sure if the TE has been phased out so much as the Steelers just have a lot of top-tier talent on offense and a 5th round TE.  We have one WR and a 1st round pick TE who was once red zone gold.  Not sure we can just toss the position into the scrap heap as if we have an embarrassment of riches on offense at the moment.

I will say if Eifert can't stay healthy we may as well convince ourselves that TE's aren't very important, though. We did have a healthy TE who could block at one point, but we were convinced that it was impossible to keep him on the same team as a TE on a rookie contract. Wacky.
