Cisco's VIC, Adapter FEX, and Nexus 9K

Many years ago, I deployed Cisco C-Series servers in standalone mode to Nexus 5Ks via VICs, and I enabled Adapter-FEX (switchport mode vntag) in order to allow for deploying many vNICs to each server.

However, these days it seems that the Nexus 9K has no support for Adapter-FEX, or at least I can't find documentation for it. Does this mean we can no longer configure multiple vNICs on standalone servers with VICs? Or is there a more modern methodology for enabling vNICs this way? Any insights would be appreciated!
