Yes, the rework gave Limbo safety while in the rift, which increases his usefulness as a defense frame. You can filter outside bullets and can now prevent damage inside, although it comes at the price of being unable to use primary and secondary weapons unless Limbo constantly reapplies Stasis. Meleeing enemies near the edge of Cataclysm is a bit annoying, unless you use weapons with good range so there's that as well. Rift Surge without augment is just useless. Overall Cataclysm is a Chilling Globe with infinite health.

Frost still has more CC thanks to his Avalanche and Ice Wave, but Limbo with max duration can protect a time-based objective for up to 84 seconds, without even being there. If you want him for missions where you actually have to kill things (like Defense or Survival), then he starts to be a bit worse, mostly since he can't pull things to the rift from inside, and weapons are useless at hurting things outside Cataclysm. It makes him a bit more niche since you'll need to rely on non-channeled ability damage, like Ash, Saryn or Nidus.

Overall Limbo gained a defining role, although he is still a bit disruptive to the team. He needs a mostly caster squad to be effective. Nullifiers are just his worst nightmare though. And Rift Surge without augment is just useless.
