Yes. My trip to Tokyo last Dec, encountered a few restaurants which insist on cash only.

If you are using physical IC cards, you’ll need cash to top up as well.

There are still a handful of public transport means that do not accept IC cards, especially in outskirt towns, so that would also be cash.

Yup. But luckily I drove out of Tokyo instead of taking public transport. so no issue. But the topping up of the Suica card is a pain as only at Narita can use card. In Tokyo, had to use cash to top up.
