Instinct is fine as a skill. The problem is simply that not all Servants can capitalized it, or capable standing firm to know it works effectively.

Artoria as example.

For her, Instinct is useless. No star-absorb, unable to lift chances of performing Buster Brave Chain to optimize damage on team centered on her. Not many to defend even with NP 5, making Radiant Road her redemption arc.

Now, compare to Arthur and Mordred.

Both unable to star-absorb too, but they have NP Charge from start, allowing them to access optimal damage for each 5 turns on team centered on them.

On top of that, Mordred bring defense buff and debuff cleanse, making her performance stays good while Arthur bring more damage steroid to bypass class limit against Large enemies. Buff stacking game became easier with them compare to Artoria; they do have better accuracy when it comes to scoring high result with their NP Brave Chain.

So at the end it back to each overall kit.

For some, Instinct is bad, for others it complement enough until change of difficulties made them less viable.
