Not got worse as such other rims got better i.e wider and stiffer. There is can be a little bump at the weld join on an open pro but nothing serious.
For 28h rims lacing 2x or 3 is fine. I do 2x because I think it looks better and in theory the shorter spokes give a stiffer wheel but practically there is little difference for the end user in terms of spoke life.
