It is very likely. Which doesn't mean that you have to stop using it in your own games, just that it wouldn't appear as loot in future APs.
There is also the Endless Grimoire which has a similar effect. And is usable by more classes such as Cleric.

If you are looking for the item bonus to Arcana, the mage's hat has a greater version that can cast a 4th-rank summon spell (which can be chosen during daily preparations).

Have Rings of Wizardry been removed in the 2e Remaster due to being Hasbro content?
To be clear, if you are playing Pathfinder 2E, all legacy (pre-remaster) content is still a part of the game unless it was replaced (typically meaning a new item/spell/feat/etc of the same name is in the Remaster) or eplicitly removed by official Paizo errata, or effectively removed because it just doesn't work with the changes (like Runelord). In many cases, errata was issued to adapt certain legacy content to the Remaster rules, which only reinforces that the legacy content is still part of Pathfinder 2E.
Due to Intellectual Property reasons, the legacy content will no longer be referenced or used in NEW Paizo materials, so you'll never see Rings of Wizardry as loot in a NEW Paizo scenario or adventure path, or mentioned in a sourcebook about magic stores, etc.
That said, there is a history of certain GMs restricting players to certain books, etc. For example, some GMs restricted players to the Corebook only, others restricted players to a set of books, like Core, APG and so on. With the Remaster, you now have some GMs who restrict their players to Remaster (GM Core, Player Core, Player Core 2). If your GM restricts you to Remaster material only, then it's your GM, NOT PAIZO removing legacy content, such as the Ring of Wizardry, from YOUR game.
So, you need to talk to your GM to see if your GM allows all official Paizo material, only Remaster, only Remaster Core 1 (not Core 2), of maybe even all official Paizo material PLUS certain third-party material. Depending on your group's style, it might be a GM-only decision or more of a group decision, but it should be decided upon at some point.
