Except that the introduction of multiple decks for a single table made card counting all but useless

Not necessarily true. People still succeed at card counting with 6 deck shoes. The main problem is that you need a lot of capital for the odds to eventually even out in your favor. Even in the bast case scenario, you still only have a 1% advantage. There are counting groups that will pool tons of money and then split the total winnings as to maintain a higher average winnings.
