Short answer is no one really knows if all the ones for sale now are the "new specs". There could be, and likely are ones left over still in backroom/warehouse stock piles that are the old non blue spring models. I remember reading a post on here, not to long back where some one had a threaded barrel rifle, and he had to send it back. Im not sure but I think it "may" have been a DTZ serial. But either way Im sure it was a threaded barrel that was being sent back to S&W.
Perfect example. Here is a DTX rifle.. obviously in the series before the DTZ rifles. Seems those DT models were the most problematic, for example.

So I guess this DOES put an end to the question of are "all threaded barrels good to go, even with the newest blue springs". But the springs were not all that were "corrected". As the rotating extractor pin was also adressed in the newer serial model rifles.
