It's been awhile since I did any frontend work. Is there something that has taken jQuery's place?

Yep, that's definitely covered: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch#supplying_request_options

If you end up using a bundler and npm dependencies, axios is also pretty good and very popular HTTP client.

Yeah, Fetch is so much better than jQuery's http API. And if you need something more than Fetch, then Axios is far superior.
