The topic was brought up on a stream recently, and the view was slinging is not very exciting to play, but it has to be done because its too strong to play against. A lot of viewers may agree it's not as exciting to watch as all players actively playing either - Of course, that does not mean it is impossible to have great games with sling.
It appears that even despite the restrictions placed, the strategy is too strong not to use it.
What do top players in general think of the play style? Would the community prefer if further restrictions are placed? There are some players/casters who have discussed about this at various times, but hopefully they'll share those views here as well to take a collective overview.

So far:
(If I've missed some top player perspective, let me know. Others are welcome to express of course Just compiled TL;DR for those who play tournaments, and deal with it first hand)
(#2) St4rk - Fine as it is
(#3) Hearttt - At least Feudal sling should not be viable
(#8) Nicov - Ban it from every tournament
(#9) Viper - Slinging is ruining team games - doesn't allow many fun civs to be showcased in action
(#23) Lierry - By far the most broken mechanic, remove from feudal entirely
