No, I don't think that's the case. Most of what I've read seems to indicate that the Gripen -E/F will have HUDs as well.
Here's a site (which is in Portuguese) which seems to indicate this:

If you translate the site above to English:

You can read the following:
In February 2015, Saab announced the selection of AEL as the new supplier in Brazil. Saab and AEL also signed a technology transfer agreement. The company was selected to provide the Wide Area Display (WAD), Head-Up Display (HUD) and Helmet Mounted Display (HMD), which will be integrated into Gripen for Brazil as part of the F-X2 contract.
So besides the Wide Area Display and the Helmet Mounted Display, the new Gripen will also have/keep the HUD.
