Is AA needed now that we’re moving towards 4k?

Yes.

Also worthy of note is the implementation of state-of-the-art anti-aliasing, believed to be a variant of SMAA T2X, as found in Crysis 3. This is one of the best post-process anti-aliasing techniques we've seen, combining a new take on MLAA with a temporal element.

Hybrid approaches will be the way forward as it tries to give us the best of both worlds, performance and image quality.

The higher the resolution and pixel density the less aliasing is noticeable.

 

For instance, I have a 4k 27" monitor. Playing without aliasing is sometimes the better option for having a sharper image.

For me it depends on the game, if it's a hyper realistic game with lots of fine details, then turning off FXAA is preferred.
But something that is a little more cartoony that doesn't have lots of fine details like Overwatch? Looks better with FXAA in my opinion.
