No, the [u]intN_t types are still required only if they're supported.

N3054 7.22.1.1p3:
    If an implementation provides standard or extended integer types
    with a particular width and no padding bits, it shall define the
    corresponding typedef names.

C23 does mandate 2's-complement for all integer types, but it still
allows padding bits and doesn't mandate any exact sizes.
