If I recall correctly, most classes already were on 1 or 2 minute cycles in general anyway, so they'd naturally line up before Endwalker as well, just not always as cleanly. Now it's just universally 2 minutes to make it cleaner. I don't believe you were ever encouraged to hold your buffs previously even if everyone didn't line up. So not much has really changed aside from a few classes having cooldowns that didn't fit to 1 or 2 minutes being adjusted to be less awkward.
