At least with TouchID I think I've stopped having to ever type my iCloud password into random popups anymore.

I'm sure there are still corner cases where it would want the literal iCloud password but I don't remember the last time I saw the prompt, versus before TouchID the random password prompts were pervasive and discomforting.

TouchID has been removed from the iPhone X.

TouchID is replaced by FaceID which I assume likewise eliminates the vast majority of password prompts?

Everything that uses the TouchID API should seamlessly use FaceID instead on the X

Doesn't it have a password/pin fallback though?

Yes, just like TouchID.
