Not really. You couldn't neutral duck or down poke in neutral, you had to always be blocking. That's a big deal to have to be pressing and releasing one aditional button. The same with jump-ins.
Neutral ducking is "pressing and releasing one additional button", and down poking is pressing and releasing two additional buttons.
The main difference here is that against players who will actually throw out random TP's, who before made you have to constantly worry about blocking in the neutral, now you have the added option of simply down poking to stop both TP and TP cancel, but this also means that instead of blocking and getting a full 20-30% punish you'll get a down poke into pressure/jailing, which is much less effective overall and has much less effect in actually showing those players that they can't throw out random TP's otherwise they'll lose pretty fast.
Anyway, I will give you the jump ins, in MU's for characters who actually have good crouching buttons to AA, TP is no longer viable as a way to try and work around that.
Still, IMO, all of those TP options that got nerfed are real hail marys that I don't think have any place in high level play except as a hard read after conditioning your opponent, in which case, again, high or mid TP will have the exact same effect. I see this as a non-issue, more of a quality of life change for online play than something to ever consider when making a tier list (which should, always, be based on high level play).
