The ranged utility from magic spells can't be understated. Especially how Req isnt a forced burst phase anymore, and you can kind of drift things as you need to. I get what you mean about pressing the same button. I dont mind it for the holy spells so much, but I think Atonement lacks punch. If it were up to me, I'd lower potency of royal authority and add it onto Atonement. I liked SHB pld a lot, but all of my gripes were solved with EW. Magic cutting off your combos, weak gauge abilities etc. The oath gauge shield actually feels worth using on other people now.

I do a lot of old content with my FC and the carry potential on Pld is just on another level compared to the other tanks. Everyone can die at 40% and I'll just dance around the boss til its dead using clemency lol. That's what I like most I think
About the carry potential, it's very true, one of my favorite things about PLD is indeed the utility, it feels to me like the most traditional MMORPG tank in that regard, you have a tool for every situation. Also, I quite agree with Atonement, honestly, if it were up to me, I would love to see every oath stack have a different animation for atonement, to add more impact, the extra damage taken from Royal Authority would be good indeed.

But yeah, I don't know, maybe my biggest gripe isn't exactly just how static it feels to press the same keybind multiple times but how impactful it feels when you do it.
