My guess is yes. We have a nearly identical setup to yours (installed 2011 with 5 years support), and I was recently recommended to move VMware backups from OnCommand 5 to VSC because OC 5 Host Package won't see any bug fixes now OC6 is cDOT only.
NetApp I am very very unhappy about this. We bought expensive, enterprise class kit and only 1 year after purchase it is on care-and-maintenance by the vendor? (Yes I'll be taking it up with our local sales reps next time I see them)
I had been researching using VSC vs OnCommand to back up vSphere previously - I found the restore facilities in OnCommand to be primitive beyond belief so I would have gone the VSC route (which at least can sometimes do file level restores) in any case.
