No, upstream says that both proj (aka proj6) and proj.4 are
supported. Quoting [1],

"From 'rgdal' 1.4.1, provision is made for 'PROJ6' accommodation, ..."

proj and proj.4 are different versions of the same software, with proj
being the newer version. See
https://proj.org/faq.html#what-happend-to-proj-4 . I say we completely
deprecate our proj.4 package and replace all occurrences of proj.4 with
proj.

WDYT?
