Definitely gotten better.
It still needs some work, and there's some QoL stuff I'd want like Ck2 Converter religions for Custom Nations, but it's not in a broken state like it was last year.

Europa Universalis IV - Steam Charts
An ongoing analysis of Steam's player numbers, seeing what's been played the most.
Still at around 15k average players a month, where they've been since corona (and up from 11-12k for the years before that).
aka : don't take the general negativity on the forums too literally

Old, outdated and in need of wrapping up. But if your concern is the AI, yes, it's better than before.

It seems like the AI understands how the game works perfectly fine.
But I have to say that I find the last patch the worst I have seen in a while, up to the point where I am just not going to play EU IV anymore.
I could name a bunch of things, but I know that a lot of factors influence the gameplay.
The game is just too tedious for me now with the fort forests and it seems to me that the AI has received some new and improved cheats, or maybe just the lucky nations have?
Combat system is utter crap as well if you ask me. The winner now always seems to be the one with the bigger army cause the battles last for months, so forget about outmaneuvering anyone.

Did the last update make the game close to unplayable, and we need to wait the usual 3 to 6 weeks for the basic fixing? I took a very long EU break, more than 2 years, and was thinking about clocking a few more hundreds hours for achievements with the new updates.
I am told on Discord that the latest update is a very good job in terms of SP.
Thank you

I put the most hours in the game back when tercorr was a thing. Doesn't mean that the game was better then than it is now.
It is only natural that numbers would be up for 2020 onwards.

Seems like blobbing is worth while only with Hordes or I haven't figured out the wide play with unstating things and how gov capacity numbers are affected. Seems like wide play is all trade focused for income and tbh I still have some learning to do with this part of the game.
I'm a tall player and trade is also very important. It's on par with production, the 2 most important incomes.
In wide play you dont really state , culture convert, and convert religion slowly. So there will be like no income from tax and production until mid game. Really not the meta to blob until absolutism right now.
