No that’s amendments is as relevant today as it was then. Unless you think that for some reason is would be more desirable for the government to force you to house soldiers for some reason.

Housing soldiers in citizens homes in modern times would be inefficient and dangerous. It would drastically affect readiness and deployability amd lead to general unrest.

It is in every way a very outdated amendment, as that's not how professional armies are fielded in modern times, nor is there any press to go back to what was a barbaric act when the law was past.

We likely dont need it, but it's basically moot, and the construction is impossible to amend.
