If they did a real, old school filibuster, it would be OK.
Now it is just a road block.
Not on appointments it wouldn’t. There is no reason for it to exist on appointments. If you can’t convince 51 other senators that someone is extreme or unfit, you should let them through.
Yep. The rule any more is only about obstruction. Doesn’t have anything to do with statesmanship.

F the fillbuster, it violates the will of the majority, it’s not in the constitution it’s a rule that never should have existed.
Dems will block everything so we really ought to get rid of it all together, otherwise nothing will pass that can’t be done via filibuster immune “reconciliation”.
