He was, temporarily. They pulled him off of the project for a while until the shit-storm blew over, then re-attached him to it once the tempest in a teacup was done. He's still the same shit-heel he was before, but the house of the mouse and his leftist buddies are counting on everyone going HA HA FUNNY MOVIE and forgetting the trash he spewed in the past.
Either way, GotG3 is part of the Nu-MCU, so I won't be bothering to go see it. Between COVID delaying stuff and Endgame capping the last arc, they've lost any momentum they ever had, on top of the ensuing wokeness shit-show.
Edit: I also forgot that he bounced over to DC for a bit after the pro-kiddie-diddler allegations blew up, and he did The Suicide Squad over there while he was in Marvel purgatory. It still blows my mind that he could get work, at all, after basically admitting to being pro-pedo.
Pretty much. When they went woke as fuck with Black Panther, announced the retcon shoehorn of Captain Marvel into the MCU, and that they weren't going to be using Adam Warlock for the Infinity War, that's where I (and I assume many other people) checked the fuck out. I stuck with it to see out the end of the arc, but once Endgame was done that was it for me and trying to watch every MCU movie.
James Gunn wasn’t canceled. He’s still directing Galaxy 3.

Everyone basically knew Woke Marvel was coming after the Infinity Saga ended, even before Infinity War and Endgame.

Wasn’t he the GG2 ending tease?
He was briefly out of a job, then he got it back.
