What's wrong with psionics?

Several issues Ive seen so far involving the modification it makes to your species breaking gene editing, gaia world habitability, etc.

They still badly need to fix the Psionic and Synthetic Ascension paths no?

There is a difference between bugs (e.g. if farming districts produced minerals rather than food), performance (e.g. whatever calculations are bogging down games in 2400+), and something that does not work the way a given player wants it to (e.g. synthetic ascention).

For the last case issues of balance are as much an "in the eye of the beholder" as anything else. That currently the psionic and synthetic ascention paths are seen as sub-optimal by some does not make their current state the fault of poor programming.

its a total warhammer 2 dlc, that introduced a game mechanic (pirate coves, basically hidden settlements inside coast settlements of your enemies).... if however a pirate coast faction got destroyed, the game would corrupt resulting in many MANY hours of game progresss randomly being destroyed (remember, total wargames take ages to play), and CA STILL TO tHIS DAY only managed to create a "beta" fix around this (meaning still no official fix) resulting in modders having to remove the cove mechanic alltogether...

THIS is unplayable, because the save corruption bug with coves actually makes investing in a campaign impossible (since you know, eventually one way or another one ai pirate faction WILL be destroyed)

That was really, really shameful, indeed.

less shamefull and more embarrassing, considering things like those bugs show that ca acutally DONT play their own games... like... lokhir not acutally having high sea attrition immunity would be obvious if you would have played like... 3-4 turns with his faction.... the pirate king of pirating not being able to roll around sea isnt really somehting that should be a thing....

there are so many things like that that just make ca look like they have no idea what game they are making

Yeah, CA support of Warhammer 2 has been terrible. I guess they just have everyone working on their new Three Kingdoms game and don't care anymore.
