It depends. $TCA values should be stored into typo3conf/extTables.php as
this file is only included when $TCA is loaded. Remember,
typo3conf/localconf.php is also loaded when surfing in the frontend.

The file is used to override settings from ext_tables.php. I think this
still makes sense, why should it become deprecated?

Why? Well ok, two different scenarios:
- Multi-site change:
  Maybe it's worth to create an extension for this, but again you must
  assure that it is loaded after all other extensions, otherwise it may
  not really override everything.
- Single site change:
  typo3conf/extTables.php fits perfectly imho!
