do status potions still work?

Just the cleansing ones retain their usefulness. I always have spine drops on hand because I think some healers are allergic to Esuna and echo drops because inevitably someone doesn't stun the silencing mob when I'm healing.

Singular paralysis hardly ever feels worth an Esuna because it doesn't usually last long enough to prevent more than one action anyway, given its RNG. It's also disproportionately more detrimental to casters than anyone else, so depending on the party composition it's possible nobody loses any GCDs even if the paralysis triggers.

Echo drops are a good idea for anyone with Spells to carry even outside of deep dungeons, as Silence could last long enough to block as many as three GCDs.

I thank Hydaelyn for them in Unreal when someone misses a tower. Paralyze there can cause you to end up in the middle of the goo or be unable to place the stack marker in the right spot and wipe the party. They're more limited than echo drops but I feel their worth the places where I do use them.

Honestly, I like carrying them around because it is fun feeling slightly-more self sufficient. I know antidotes don't quite as much use anymore, but they can be good in case the healer dies. Though, I do wish they worked on stacking poison (I found out it does nothing when stacking poison is at play despite the fact it can be esuna'd)
