I'm sideloading Windows 8.1 app on Windows 10. I know Win 8.1 apps required a sideloading key when it deploy through Windows 8.1 OS but due to the new feature on Windows 10 "Sideload apps" does that sideloading key still required?

No. It's not required.

According this article

With Windows 8, Microsoft copied Apple’s iPad and iPhone model, forcing you to get your apps from Microsoft’s curated store. Windows 10 shifts back to a more PC-like, Android model — you can get apps from anywhere you like.

According technet.microsoft.com

In Windows 10, sideloading is different than in earlier versions of Windows:

You can unlock a device for sideloading using an enterprise policy, or through Settings
License keys are not required
Devices do not have to be joined to a domain
