I'm having fun running raids and collecting some of the revised raid loot.  Ymmv.

I would say yes, even though I may be on the verge of another long break myself.  I came back a few years ago and while the game has changed substantially and now revolves around TRing almost exclusively, they added massive xp bonuses(R1) and lowered the total heroic XP requirements.  Ravenloft is excellent (I would say required) and the loot there drops with enough frequency that you can regear to close to top performance without a huge amount of pain.  Overall, I have had fun in the new paradigm, more soloing, but at least on Khyber if you are willing to put up an LFM you can usually get a group that I would say, over 50% of them are either competent at the game or at least entertaining.  I would add the caveat, LFMs for easy mode, BB or R1 w/BB, even going to R1 gets more dicey with PUGs depending on your tolerance for helping/carrying people... but even that is getting better.
   You missed the season pass, but fear not, the marketing focus is clearly going in the direction of convincing players that nothing is something, so I expect another full price multi-year vip sub, bundled with a bunch of worthless crap.  But if you are into cosmetics in a game that didn't even look that great when it came out, there may be even more for you to like...

It's still a great game.

And the depth of quests for someone to rerun after a long break is considerable.

To this day it's still the greatest game to suck the most ass.

Well, don't let that overly influence your experience.  Slavers gear and crafting is well worth the effort, but just like Temple of Elemental Evil, there are stupidly difficult quests that should not be run on harder difficulties with the same expectation of ease as most of the others at the same level.  Just ask around for quest chains to avoid, like Mines of Tethymar or the new Rage quests, unless you want a challenge, or tons of mobs in a quest with a very poor xp for effort ratio.  If you want to do them at level, make sure you are in a competent group, otherwise just run them over level to get the loot and crafting mats efficiently.  Check out Ravenloft, it's actually a pretty good balance, some quests are quite difficult, the first fight in "invitation to dinner" and "Amber temple", others not so much.
