I think they are still used as ICEs, yes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_(train) suggests Berlin-Muenchen.

I think that's out of date since they opened the new highspeed line between Numerburg and Halle. However, it appears that they still operate ICE1040 & ICE1043 between Berlin and Dusseldorf

If you can go on one, it's worth the effort, but avoid 2nd class as it's rubbish. Business and First are lovely, I can't remember if Business is now classed as 2nd or First class

According to grahnert.de there is one pair of trains between Berlin and each of Frankfurt/Main, Hamburg and Düsseldorf booked to one with MET stock, but most of them only run on specific days.
The website also lists DB's offical stock descriptions(for the MET), with detailed seating plans etc., which confirm that coaches 1, 2 and 3 are the ones to avoid, as they are the ex "Traveller" i.e. 2+2 seated coaches, with 4 and 5 being declassified.
