The floating ASIs did not create the racial imbalance, it just shuffled around who was on where on the tier list.
I wonder ...
How would you define inballance if not like this.
It's unbalanced. It was unbalanced before, and it is unbalanced now. The difference is that before the unbalance were about the basic checks you had to do with your main stat, and now the unbalance regards which proficiencies you have.
Searching for balance in an RPG is utopic, you will always have tiers. What you can aim for is to make the game fun and remove traps. It all fall on what you like and the kind of stories you want to tell.
