Yes, yes it is. And it should be for everyone who has invested in this game, hence the reason for this sub-forum. If Scawen is putting XX amount of time into this game so that when the game is finally released to his standards, which I think are quite high, one would assume that this issue would be of importance of him, no matter the insignificance of it.

the s2000 does have a digital tachometer. You might not call it digital though. Instead of a needle that points to a number, bars of light light up over the numbers on the tach.
I noticed that, but I don't consider it digital since the only thing "digital" about it is the implied effect of a needle. By digital I mean the revs are shown as a 4-digit number like "1234 rpm".
This is caused by the fuel indicator being overlaid over the tach. You'll see when you are running under 2kRPM that the needle is hidden under it as well.
This isn't just a new feature in cars either- older Fords can do this as well- my Mk5 Fiesta has the option to display digital mph, kmh, revs, miles left in fuel tank etc instead of the trip computer. The Toyota Yaris has a digital dash too. So it's feasible the XFG etc could have some kind of digital tacho too.
