I have had (setq org-footnote-auto-label 'plain) in my init.el
to get footnote labels of the form[1]. But after updating to
version 9, I see this option is no longer supported? Does
this really mean that there is no longer any way to get plain
footnotes?? (Surely there is no reason to prefer[fn:1] in documents that have no chance of containing false positives? which is true of all my documents.)

It's true, that style of footnote no longer works. ORG-NEWS says:
Footnotes
[1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
Using
[1]as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These constructs are now unsupported.If you used
[N]in some of your documents, consider turning them into[fn:N].
