No, not even a little. Tesla has always been a minor ability, but a status increase to like 50% per shock is all it needs, since each only targets one enemy at at time and does low damage. Minelayer is kinda good, i mean while bounce and the tripwire can be funny and mildly useful, it's more down to shred and mostly concuss, due to the armor stripping, ragdoll, and cc they both have. But it's a bit unruly to use and swap in the heat of battle i guess.

His bastille was nerfed a very long time ago, but his Augment for it pretty much brought it back to it's former glory, at least the ability to deny enemies from entering the radius. Nullifiers can only destroy his abilities if they touch the balls, which is really fair, so he is good against corpus and one of the few frames who does not instantly turn into a glass mug being thrown off a building when nullifiers or those nullifying corpus hipsters show up.

His vortex has always been a beast for grineer and infested, because while it does low damage it clumps enemies together letting you easily melee or AoE them to death.

So no, vauban is not meh. Maybe still a bit niche or specific compared to other 'top' frames, but not meh.
