  Are these empty index.htm(l) files still needed in the modules?

  No they are not. We dont use them in the core.
  
  The only caveat is that if you use GIT version control and you need an empty directory in the checkout. GIT only tracks files, so if you actually need an empty directory in the checkout then you must place a single empty file in that directory or the directory will simply disappear for anyone who then clones, or exports your GIT repo.
  
  The example is config/ where we have a few index.html files to maintain the skeleton.
