You can still install ad-hoc apps using iTunes by following the steps under Manually add items from your computer in this tech note

The steps are:

  1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes
  2. Find your device in the left sidebar in iTunes
  3. Drag your ad-hoc IPA to the device

Apple Configurator 2 software from Apple can be used for sideloading - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-configurator-2/id1037126344?mt=12

Just install the software, connect your device, drag your ipa into the Configurator, as simple as that.
