No, there's no need. I actually made a mistake in my FreeBSD commit message when I said `kern.ps_strings` is available in any FreeBSD release supported within the last decade -- it's actually much longer.

`kern.ps_strings` was actually introduced in r14235 over 20 years ago:  https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/14235
And in 1998 it was understood that "applications should use the kern.ps_strings sysctl instead of PS_STRINGS": https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/41871
