I don't really play USF and UKF enough to give suggestions on those two factions, but feel free to add your own suggestions and feedback.

Panzerfusiliers are fine. Why change them? They provide some nice anti-tank options that OKW doesn't have and they're doctrinal. I don't like removing the panzershrecks and giving them to Obers, since Obers come out too late and the panzershrecks are quite useful in the early-mid game.

because its too easy for people to make cheap Panzerschreck blobs that easily delete any allied armor

What if Obers were changed to be available from the command HQ?

they would require 1 deployed truck and LMG34 and IR stg are were locked behind Schwerer Panzer HQ but Panzerschrecks were available for them immediately like Pgrens. would that be a fair compromise

Must I remind you it is doctrinal? As long as it is doctrinal, then shreck blobbing is not a problem. Also this same shreck blob has zero AI capability. This isn't the same as old Volks shreck blobs since Volks have better Kar98s than Fusiliers and they only had 1 shreck. Fusiliers have to keep their shreck as an early-mid infantry anti-armor counter.

Also, having 2 anti-infantry upgrades is redundant.
