Short answer, no.  The answer hasn't really changed from Joining based on multiple fields.

Multi-field joins are not supported in most ArcGIS geoprocessing tools.  For example, Join Field—Data Management toolbox | Documentation  uses a "common attribute field", not fields.  The best approach would be to create a compound-key field based on your multiple fields.  You can try to be creative with Make Query Table—Data Management toolbox | Documentation, but there are lots of limitations and caveats going down that path too.
