I could see a strong argument being made to suggest his base form is getting stronger, as CC said. This might not be totally out of line as reaching his potential with SSJ4 might have increased Goku's strength overall, while just needed 4 to maximize it. Mostly it seems like SSJ4 though stays...
It's okay. He looks good with it, as he usually does with the evil inspired forms. I'll have to wait to see how it's used or if it stays relevant at all to really make a decision on it.
@Captain Cadaver has mentioned before in relation to M11 that there's something to be said about the kids possibly being nerfed compared to their manga/anime selves, but I don't remember any details pointing to that since I haven't watched in a while.

The question to me is what came first. If Gero used an inferior body to keep himself alive and then later improved upon the infinite energy design, it's possible that he was already stuck with the one he had, especially if the resources to create 17 and 18 were limited.
