Some do, some don't. The better ones still use long layering periods, whereas others started to use strongly accelerated schedules to the detriment of quality.
FYI Guinness has a very strongly accelerated method and is able to produce a beer in 72-76 hrs. Not that I know of any German brewer using such extreme accelerated schedules, but many produce a lager in 21 days.
It depends how quality-sensitive your audience is. For some brands it doesn't matter.
