Always On Display is the modern equivalent of this feature. Setting your lock screen notification style to "cards" places the notification indicators below your clock and makes them more visible.
If you use brief style notifications, the banner will pop up on the AOD and the edge lighting animation will pull the primary color from the app icon.
If this isn't sufficient, you can also turn on Flash notifications in accessibility settings.

AOD, while not perfectly identical in every way, is the modern successor to the feature and directly contributed to the feature being phased out.
Battery drain is pretty minor in my experience. Anecdotally, AOD represents 2-4% of usage with an average of 8hrs+ SOT. I use it as a desk clock so it is on most of my 8hr work day.
Because the feature is, as you say "gone forever" (debatable, considering the potential resurgence in the industry with rumored features like Pixel Glow) our function in this forum is to offer potential alternatives.
If you believe the native solutions are insufficient, you could always try a third party one. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.alwaysondisplay
