Yes with some jiggery pokery, and a bit of luck with lot of High level B10 towns nearby (assuming you don't Cheese and create them), you can still bring in a lot of food, and create very large armies.
But with the regeneration rate 1/24th of previous the base food to draw from to support armies is 1/24th that which was possible.
Even with the possible exception of playing to the maintenance times as you suggest it's still 1/12th possible available food. This is an inherent cap. The cap was there beforehand, it was just 12~24 times larger and possibly beyond the reach of even the most dedicated player.
Does it go far enough to prevent easily acquirable and over-powered armies? Clearly from your post, and from my own opinion also before this, no.
But it's a step forward, makes it just that bit harder to Cheese, and I'm all in favour of it.
