IRAY and hair - is UberSurface2 and UberHair shaders still a thing?

Is this still something you can or should use with iRay? I'm just starting with iRay rendering - with 3Delight using these on hair would drop the render time dramatically because you could drop off Occulusion and Raytracing. So I've looked for something similar when doing iRay and I have not been seeing it - my search-fu could just be weak, though.

Putting the shader on the hair has some weird effects - basically, it turns all the black hair to having silver highlights all through it - so I'm thinking UberSurface2 and the Uberhair shaders are something that just are not used anymore?

Those are 3Delight shaders, they win't work in Iray.
