Are you saying no more metal jerry cans in California? If so, are you sure that is the case?
Or are you just saying no more metal jerry cans for you regardless of whether you are in California?
Wavian steel NATO style cans are currently sold over the counter at many locations in California and routinely shipped to California addresses.
See, e.g.

Amazon also ships steel NATO style fuel cans to California. I purchased a pair of Wavian 20l cans in February 2021 and had them shipped to my home in NorCal.
BTW, California's jerry can regulations only apply to sale and distribution and not to the end user. It is not illegal for a private individual to own and use non-CARB compliant jerry cans in California.
My jerry cans are shown below, a steel Wavian NATO style can for gasoline and a plastic Wavian water can. The can is CARB compliant because it was sold with a CARB compliant spout. I don't use the spout. A super siphon with the can still in place is more efficient.
