Simple; the option to have plutonium mode is not available, just removed.
This would be perfectly fine if it was mentioned in changelog but boom, out of the blue, gone.

Plutonium Mode was an experiment, so there was never any reason to expect it to be documented as a feature would be. However, it was a very successful experiment and the current plan is to implement it as a true feature. It was going to be turned on permanently, but Mojang decided after a bit that maybe they'd better keep it optional just in case. I don't know this for a fact, but I believe what may have happened is that it was turned on and the toggle was removed in this update. The toggle should come back in a future update.
Meanwhile, do you actually need the toggle, or were you just reporting it because you thought its absence might be unintentional?
I don't NEED it, but it keeps my game from stuttering on servers. I get like 30-40fps on a server, and a stable 60fps w/ it on.
So to answer no I don't, but I really do like it.
Thank you for your report!
