I haven't played in a couple years, but I've been thinking about returning. I know I might be the only person on the planet who's sad about a bunch of the MSQs being deleted from the game, but I always feel a bit bummed out when stuff is removed from an online game, because that usually means it's gone forever. I'm also a big fan of lore, and when lore gets yeeted out of an MMO due to quests or cutscenes being removed, I get all 
about it.
Shortly before the removal of those quests, Yoshida said in an interview that they would be turned into sidequests and made optional.
But if new players still want to experience all of the content that was in the vanilla release of FF14, Yoshida has words of reassurance. "Those quests that are decommissioned, we didn't really remove them completely," he says. "We moved them to side quests. For anyone who has the time and wants to dig more for lore and stuff like that, then they can spend time on it."

I haven't played since that patch came out, but I've been occasionally checking the consolegameswiki and gamerescape wiki for any sign of the new, optional sidequest versions of the removed main story quests. So far there hasn't been any sign of them. The original mandatory versions of the quests have been marked as removed from the game, but as for the new optional versions that Yoshi-P said would be there for people who want to experience all of the original ARR content, I haven't found a trace of them.
Does anyone know anything more about this than I do? Was it a mistranslation, are the new optional versions of the quests in-game and the wikis just haven't been updated to reflect that, or are they coming in a future patch?
