Honestly not sure how it works now, I can’t imagine there are many people out there that without safari on their dock.
If you actively have safari open it should be in the ‘recent apps’ section of the dock anyways, I don’t think you can turn that off.
Now in 15 there is a button at the top of the window you can press that takes you to the Home Screen to open any app you want next to your current app.
