So with that in mind, imagine if they brought Kaiten back the way it was.

That would mean to maintain their stated goal of rebalancing power outside job burst, the base potency for MSQ would have to be reduced to 427 w/ autocrit.

Now just think about that. Do you really love Kaiten? Is Kaiten the button you really want to fight to keep?

Or is it the 1000+ potency MSGs you really care about?

Legitimate question, and it'd be interesting to see your answers. But please understand--Kaiten back or not, MSG power is NOT coming back, and they need it that way for other roles to be balanced well.
