Wasn't this largely solved by DeepMind's AlphaFold?

I'd discourage claiming any biological process is "solved."

But to your point: No--AlphaFold is an amazing machine learning approach to predicting protein structure but Folding@Home is still immensely useful for simulating how proteins fold up over a timescale. They are/will be complimentary methods.
