The classic library Metadata Navigation and Filtering feature does not work the same as in the classic experience but still available, as you mentioned, the “hierarchy and key filters as drop-down at the left navigation” have been removed from modern SharePoint.

Metadata Navigation and Filtering is displayed in the information panel as Filters in modern experience, and all filters displayed in a flat structure (choices with checkboxes).
You can see the Tech Community blog here for detailed information: SharePoint filters pane updates – filtering and metadata navigation for lists and libraries.

Hi,
Do you know when we would be able to return to Tree view by default for the filter pane, for a managed metadata column? Currently, it is set to list view by default and it is really not convinient for users to have to do multiple clicks to enable the treeview. At the moment, we have to click on "See all" and then on the next page, we click on a dropdown menu to choose tree view

Hi @Chukwudumebi Okeleke , thank you for posting in the Q&A forum.

I have not found any new feature or improvements in plan for Filters in SharePoint Online from Microsoft.
If you are in need of such new feature or improvement, you are welcomed to submit the idea via SharePoint UserVoice forum so that Microsoft teams can look into it:

Managed metadata navigation is available in SharePoint modern team site.

Per my test, after configuring the navigation term set in Term Store Management Tool and then select "Managed Navigation" under Current Navigation via Site Settings > Navigation, the left navigation will display folded in modern experience and expanded in classic experience.

For detailed information on how to configure managed metadata navigation in modern SharePoint, please refer to the document here:
Navigation options for SharePoint Online (Section: Using managed navigation and metadata in SharePoint Online).
