Are cash tips still expected in cities where nearly everything is cashless?
score:2
The fact that transactions are cashless does not change habits on tipping.
In Canada for example over the last several years when we moved to chip credit-cards, the machines prompt for an optional tip. Many even give the option of calculating it for you by entering a percentage. With swipe cards which are still common in the US, the bill includes an extra line where you can set a tip and sum it. You then sign and they complete it as a single transaction which includes the tip.
In some places, you are right though that you may need to carry cash in small denominations for tips. Although this seems to be uncommon in places where tips are a larger portion of income. In countries where I had to transact by credit cards and then add a cash tip, it is usually a small amount, more like rounding the total than adding 10-15%.

The U.S. is unusual in that tipping is essentially required, forming part of staff's assumed compensation. In the U.S., adding a tip to the credit card slip is standard practice. Outside the U.S. it's common that tips should be given in cash directly to the person being tipped, as anything added to a credit card charge slip might never get to the staff, and anything left on a table might go to someone else. If there's a tip jar, then dropping cash into it is the right way to tip.
