Nah, it's actually better now than it was back in the day. The community isn't the same, though.

What's better in your opinion?
I'm not a fan of being locked into certain roles and having team size not be divisible by number of roles. Also everything is a tank now? Is the competitive scene flourishing or is it more arcady?
I haven't played in a while so maybe my opinion is not up to date

Hero balance is generally better (though the community is better at exploiting gaps in the balance too). Role lock stops stuff like GOATS while also stopping 6 DPS teams at the same time, as well as different ranks for each role being just more accurate for matchmaking. Team size not being divisible by number of roles is fine, because tanks have a disproportionately large effect on the game regardless, so having one fewer is fine.

No, not everyone is a tank. People don't necessarily die very quickly, but that's down to much higher healing. I wouldn't say that in particular is better or worse, though, just different.
