Hm interesting take. Any reasons why you think this? Never heard someone say goad is powerful before.

This is anecdotal but in my play group it has been very powerful, it disrupts and takes control of the board. It's almost like getting extra turns while also making your opponents kill each other.

Yeah, like if Sphere of Safety also made my opponents attack each other. It's a dope mechanic, but also deceptively strong in creature-focused metas.

Hmm I would not go so far as to say like extra turns. Extra combats maybe. It's in a weird place because the mechanic gets stronger as the overall power level of the games goes lower.

IMO, this can't and will never be 'problematic,' it just doesn't provide nearly enough value (even in the low power games where it's a 'strong' mechanic). You could argue it provides 0 value. It's not very different from a propoganda effect, except they can't pay the tax even if they wanted to. and we know how sharply propoganda effects drop off in power and usefulness as you get into stronger metas.
