Hello WWDC, Wanted to check in to see if an easier and more performant way to check for local networking permissions has been introduce in iOS 15.
As of iOS 14 this was a partial workaround for apps that needed local network functionality to work:

I am not aware of any new on this front. (r. 69157424) is still outstanding.
I did run a 2 tests on macOS Monterey with iOS 15 beta this evening to verify that this functionality still does work the same way that it did previously on iOS 14:
I created a local listener on macOS and connected to it via iOS and the Local Network Privacy prompt did display as usual for this circumstance.
I did test Quinn's workaround to trigger the Local Network Privacy prompt here, and it still does work just as it did on iOS 14.
