>I’m glad that reductive ass 3>2 mindset is going away

The averages last year in the NBA:
35.7% from 3
52.4% from 2

That's 1.07 points per possession for 3s and 1.05 points per possession from 2s. And if we take easy transition 2s out of the mix, the numbers skew even harder for 3s. There's really no denying that, in a halfcourt set, a 3 is easily the most valuable shot you can take.

THAT SAID, obviously the occasional mid-ranger is important, because you have to keep defenders on their toes. It's the same reason poker players try to win hands that aren't mathematically advantageous to them from time to time-- you have to maintain some degree of variance, otherwise your execution is too predictable and you won't maximize your success.

But 3 > 2. That's a given.
