Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I would argue that it restricting the meta is a good thing; none of the Zama-C checks you listed other than Volc are really used on offense/HO; thus, Zama-C being unbanned will help to reduce the viability of more offensive teams, leading to a more balance heavy meta. Also as a bit of a nitpick...
Yeah, I agree with what you said, especially the point about people repeatedly using it to steamroll unprepared teams and then concluding that it’s broken. With the suspect test lasting only two weeks, many players won’t have enough time to properly rebuild their teams to better account for...
Finally got reqs, 34-4 (with one of the losses being due to timeout) while playing from the phone with Chaos King (thanks toxic ariados Toxic Ariados ).
Ran into Zama-C a couple of times and each time it was not threatening at ALL. If anything, I found base Zama to be more threatening due to...
I agree with this post and will also be voting Unban on Zamazenta crowned. I don’t have much time to write up a long post right now so I’ll just leave out a few of my brief thoughts on why it should be unbanned, as well as some issues I take with the calcs that people like to throw around:

hmm maybe i should give WP a try too, especially with screens. I wanted Maranga more because it just felt like weakness didnt provide enough of a boost for corv against guys like raging bolt or zapdos or tapu koko
Was yours weakness policy over Maranga Berry/Misty seed? If you were running weakness policy i could totally see why you might want mirror armor, but with +1spdef a 75BP non-stab fire type move does not stop corv
I feel like generally mystical fire users aren’t much of a threat to Corv anyways unless it’s a moltres running mystical fire l so I prefer pressure. You can also stall out all 8 surging strikes from a scarfed shifu
Yeah I did consider having a ground type but the problem was that there are no good ground type sweepers and a ground type support Mon wouldn’t be able to provide as much value as Fini
