PLD is still strong. Everything they've been doing hasn't really made it worse where it counts. Cover is great, but being the only tank that has a guard shatter means it's also the only tank with good tools to counter OTHER PLDs outside of LB.

That being said, all these nerfs and they still haven't fixed Imperator's absolute horrendous animation lock. I wish we'd go back to the way Endwalker PLD played. It felt fast and smooth.

Also, GNB is not really the menace you think it is, unless you want them balancing around 1v1.
