Eh. I would put some qualifiers on that. I'd argue the caster baseline just got raised in general between the refocus changes and spell buffs, wizards are probably strong than before overall. But they aren't relatively stronger compared to other classes.
The other thing is the specific nerf (limited choices for curriculum spells) is explicitly written to allow the player and GM to collaborate and add more thematically appropriate spells, which is much cleaner than trying to homebrew the whole class. So at most tables you should be fine, but I have no idea how that works on PFS.
Other problems, like boring feats or bad focus spells, aren't new, and wizards got small improvements there in the remaster. These are also problems that you can bypass with multiclassing. I recognize this feels bad to have to do, but that's probably an expectation adjustment people should make. Cuz I agree with you that Paizo probably won't publish a miracle archetype that fixes everything.
You could also add another spellcasting dedication like witch to gain extra spells and abilities.
