I am fairly sure you did if you wrote it like the above.

In the music, you can write

    \set Score.tupletFullLength ...
    \override Score.TupletBracket ...

Outside, you can use

\layout {
  \context { \Score
             tupletFullLength = ##t
             \override TupletBracket.full-length-to-extent = ##t
           }
}

In the latter case, you can also use \Voice instead of \Score to
override in every Voice.  That makes it harder to reoverride, say, at
Staff level however.

At any rate, I consider it unlikely that whatever you did before stopped
working in the described manner.  "Verifying against previous versions"
should likely have been all you needed to do.
