Correct, the GCA still applies, but Form 1s/4s are mechanisms for complying with the NFA. For beneficiaries of this ruling, these forms are no longer required.
Silencer Shop has a good video on IG explaining why 1/4’s would still be required. I’d recommend you and anyone else reading check it out. Don’t want any of my fellow Americans getting locked up over a misunderstanding.
After reviewing this I think you're correct that for now at least a Form 4 may still be required for an FFL to transfer an SBR / SBS. I have updated the article accordingly.
This said, I have seen nothing indicating that a Form 1 is required to make one of these items, which is the focus of this article, so I think we're still good there.
I see what you mean about the differentiation between form 1 vs form 4. I hadn’t thought about that. I think you’re correct. As long as you’re a member of one of the involved organizations, form 1’s shouldn’t be required.
Is there more to it than 18 USC 922 b 4? Because that's for dealers and that only covers Form 4.
18 USC 922 a 4 is the independent everyman "don't cross state lines" provision but that's Form 20 and that's already only filed if you intend to move between states.
I'd wait for a big fancy lawyer to say "SBRs are okay" but I don't think there's specific regulation in the GCA that says you can't *make* them.

Yes, waiting on opinions from the experts is probably best.
The GCA still applies, therefore form 1/4’s are still required for SBS/SBR’s.

Thank you for the correction!
