Or perhaps I missed the official approval via Ru___Gram or Comm Update, both unofficial sources. But we seem to have managers that love to legislate and guide via unofficial communications rather than official FCIFs that can be used to regulate or change approved options.
Just my opinion....
Read MD-11/10 CFM pages 2-3-0-2 and 2-3-0-3
and
FOM (version 47) page 4-1 paragraph 4.04
bottom line: a paper QRH is always required, and for those aircraft using paper normal checklists, a paper normal checklist is always required - everything else can be electronic and on the EFB
