Yes, that's correct, if you were only using the ACES OCIO config for the sRGB output, then you don't need OCIO for that anymore.

The white pixels issue was fixed in Octane core 2022.1 XB4, so that should go away when a version of the plugin based on XB4 is released. I'm not sure about the environment issue, but that may be caused by the same problem, so please retest at that point.
