As I’ve talked about in my “How to keep a rocket engine from melting” video and my video about Raptor 1 VS Raptor 2, SpaceX is employing regenerative cooling & a good amount of film cooling. Wonder if Raptor 3 completely eliminated the additional throat film cooling manifold yet

No, we still have it. Chamber converging section desperately wants to melt next-level. We also have thermal barrier coatings.
