Keeping it at 2 charges ensures you Blitz at least once a minute. At best I think maybe they could reduce the cooldown of PB to 30 seconds, but this would greatly increase the total damage you get from Blitzes, so they would need to be weakened as a result, or Monk's damage would have to be nerfed in other places.
3 charges at 30s each would allow us to line up buffs and give us that fulfillment of being able to reach Phantom within both a RoF and BH at some point which would feel great. Yeah, sure, if it comes at reduced potency in return for not having to dance around the base rotation waiting on crits for normal Chakra then so be it.

As for positionals I think they are fine as they are now, and I was someone who was a supporter of Monk's positionals for years. Blitz is difficult enough without having positionals on top of it, although I could see the potential for a design where positionals are returned but PB lets you ignore them. Even so, I was always frustrated by the Bootshine positional because of how much damage the crit represented, it was extremely punishing to miss. If they were gonna bring back any positionals it should be on Twin Snakes and True Strike only imo, but I don't think they will just because they never make jobs more difficult on purpose even if people ask.
Blitz is not hard.
In fact, I often find myself performing the now defunct positionals.

Rather than positionals or more blitzes I would rather if they added something else. Some new cooldown (or two) that doesn't always line up with burst so there's a bit more to do between Blitzes. But there would be the matter of how to make it interesting, and I think such a thing should only come alongside an increase to the chakra cap because even as Monk is now, you miss out on so many chakra because you can't spare the weave window to spend them.
I don't think we need new CDs. What we need are reworked CDs and abilities such as Anatman, SSS, TK, etc.
