I honestly think they're underrated.
Yes, you would need 5 to 6 of them to do any significant damage if all you had was PIATs, but then again you shouldn't have just PIATs.
Look at it this way:
It used to be that with a double 6-pdr you had access to pretty much all the AT you would ever need to take out a tank, and you could get em pretty early game. But with the manpower increase, getting that 2nd 6-pdr early is more risky. PIATs allow you to offset some of that AT manpower cost into ammo. You could do it before as well, it's just that you didn't need to most of the time.
Since Brits don't have much ammo expenses early game, it's easy to get 2-3 PIATs as soon as you unlock them as well as 1-2 Brens. In conjunction with the AT-gun, you'll be secured against light vehicle play while Brens secure you against heavy infantry builds. I would advise against double PIATs on a single IS because you want them to remain flexible. Go for a mix of Bren and PIATs for that bit of mobile AT or double Bren for that anti-inf wiping power.
I wouldn't be against an increase in projectile speed for PIATs but I don't think they should be significantly more reliable than they are now. Their goal is to tip the scales in your favor, not to win with no other support.
