The cycle time increase on the X-L version was so obvious that anyone who didn't see it coming is living in la-la land.
Not sure whether clip reduction is a good strategy here, though I have to admit it is the first logical thing to try. Making the module a "one per ship" type of deal would only solve half of the problems (dual ASB setups) without touching on the setups that only use one, like the Vagabond.
One X-L ASB is worth three T2 large shield extenders with max skills and two shield extender rigs. It's really a no-brainer to adapt setups to use them on almost every shield-capable ship out there. These things definitely needed a nerf, and I'm saying that as someone who really, really likes the modules.
The one thing I don't like about the capacity nerf is how it's going to affect the smaller sizes more than the larger ones. They should equalize the cycle times on all of them, and adjust boost amounts to compensate.

Yeah it's kind of funny how half the tank mods in the game are entirely useless, and how if you don't fit one class above the theoretical limit your setups become uncompetitive trash (not including battleships).
If they really wanted a complex but efficient rebalancing of the ASBs, they would make them use both cap charges and ship capacitor for power, albeit independently of each other so that you could still get shields even without cap (let's say 70% comes from the batteries, and the rest from ship capacitor). That would be an interesting design, since it would bring back cap injectors and neutralizers into fitting considerations without fully nerfing the capless boosting concept.

You should never do that stuff alone. Might need someone to hold you down with a stick in your mouth so you don't bite off your tongue.

It's really not about being unable to deal with an enemy, but about ASBs being so good that they made all other types of tanks nearly obsolete.
Imagine that CCP roled out a T1 cruiser with T3 battleship (imaginary, I know) stats. Would it be beatable? Of course. Would it make sense to fly anything else? Not at all. Game becomes more homogenized and boring.
