Now that DEVTMPFS is enabled by default in the Arch configuration, what are its benefits?

Some of the initial setup at boot is simplified. Some race conditions don't exist anymore. And it may happen that future udev features require devtmpfs.

Can I make an initramfs without udev now?

In many cases, yes, but that was also possible before devtmpfs. I'd recommend against it, as you need to configure all necessary modules manually - if their names change during update, your system breaks.

And if I do will I be able to use root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xx-yy-zz-etc

No.

or any of the similar kernel command line options?

Which ones?
