The only other class that needs a rework is Ninja. Ninja has always been at the bottom and rarely anyone plays it. Even with the new changes recently it's still slow. They just need to rework it like they did Machinist.
why would nin or any class for that matter need a rework because its at the bottom of the dps charts ? asking for a rework because a class feels clunky or unintuitive makes sense on a general level, but because its not topping the charts ? thats just numbers, you could give nin 50 potency on every single skill and it would be top dps everywhere by a bigger margin than its currently lagging behind (which really isn't all that much), or you could rework it completly a lá mch and at the same time have it deal worse dps than it does now, numbers are the literally worst reason for a rework unless theres some fundamental flaw in the design that inflates or deflates these numbers.

In the same vein, monk performing well isn't a reason to say the class works, a class can be top dps and still feel shitty to play, or it can feel great to play yet be so bad no one wants to take it. The reason why people ask for a monk rework in the first place is that its basically the same class now that it was in ARR while every other class evolved, monk now does the same as it did during ARR, just that now monk has extra tools to keep greased lightning. At this point basically every second new skill monk gets during each expansion is redundant, monk has more than enough ways to keep gl , yet instead of changing things up they simply double down on that for 3 addons straight now
