AZ-900 - Correct Lab Usage?

Hello, 

The Courseware Title Plan Courseware Title Plan | Microsoft Community Hub lists Microsoft Learn as the correct source for labs for AZ-900. However, as some of us know, it was unceremoniously cut. 

What is the correct method for labs for this class now? 

Also my followup question which I feel like I have asked before but get a new answer each time- Can a TSP/MCT decide they dont want to use labs because it costs money? Or if a lab is listed in the title plan, are they expected to use it to be KPI eligible?
