Yes, they are still coming.

You will only see them in your node's peers database.
I took a quick look at the node on my server. I'm seeing a few addr messages with less than 10 IPs being sorted into the bucket every few seconds.

Are you periodically retrieving the data from peers.dat or are you using a better method? If it's the former, then I'll parse the peers.dat later on at fixed intervals and see what I can find.
