Query field and substitution was created by dotcom22
It seem with CB 2.0 and is now no more necessary to create a delimiter/html field for get/use/display the value generated by a specific Query Field. Until now when creating a Query field such cb_myqueryfield, it was necessary to create a dedicated Delimiter/Html field such cb_myqueryfieldhtml and insert inside it substitution [cb_myqueryfield] for be able to get generated query value.

In fact I setup a bunch of things (such auto-action and others) using this principle and now none of them work because value is missing.

Do you confirm ?

I use Joomla 3.3.6 - CB 2.0.4 - CBSubs 4 - Several Incubator plugins

That was never necessary with CB Query Field. CB Query Field always outputs the results of the query as a normal field output. You do not need to substitute it for it to output. You'll need to better clarify what your issue and your configuration is as I can not confirm; all my query fields are displaying fine and have since CB 1.x.

Until now I always output query field value trough delimiter otherwise I can't see value in the backend. In frontend I suppose the value is well visible but never really tested.

Ah, backend; yes you'd need to use a Custom HTML field as the query field has no edit display. That'll still be needed as the field has no edit display at all. There's currently no plans to change this behavior.
