To be pedantic, no, the filesystem has not been "removed". Only the
user-mountable filesystem option has been moved under CONFIG_EMBEDDED,
as there should not be any userspace code that still uses that interface
into usbfs.
The recommended solution is to use the device nodes for usbfs, which
have been around for a few years now, and usually show up under
/dev/bus/usb/ and have the proper ACL and permissions that the
filesystem nodes can't have for a variety of reasons.
If for some reason you can not use the /dev/bus/usb/ device nodes, you
can enable the config option by turning on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
Hope this helps,
