The old system rollback segment still exists, so no, that doesn't need to be
hand-created. The undo_tablespace parameter is also dynamic, so no, that
doesn't require an Instance bounce to change. And the 'create database'
command can also take an 'undo tablespace' clause, and create it as part of
database creation, thus giving you automatic undo management 'out of the
box'.
