Can confirm, not even a mention of it on the changelog.
I can also confirm this behavior. Here are some extra details regarding this issue.

It's normal that they're not there. They got removed in the Experimental Snapshots, and because those changes got ported into the normal ones, one can assume that they're not present in there either.

I heard some rumors about amplified terrain getting removed, this imo would make no sense as all you would need to do to keep the amplified like terrain in 1.18 is to keep the "Facor" value very low as stated in 51:20 in henriks video about the new generation

Pretty sure that was written in the patch notes for 1.17.1 in minecraft wiki

Fixed in 1.18 Pre-release 1.
