Yes, maybe Cinderace is not as good as before because of not being the quickest mon on the tier, but it still has a lot to offer. While HDB may not be the best option right now because of Pheromosa doing the same and actually in a better way, Choice Band offers an inmense amount of power. Choice Band allows Cinderace to dish out powerful hits and to nail common switch-ins like Slowbro and Landorus-Therian with U-Turn and Pyro Ball, respectively.
With useful moves like Gunk Shot, High Jump Kick, Sucker Punch, U-Turn, Zen Headbutt and Pyro Ball (All of them with STAB thanks to Libero) Cinderace can deal with most of the useful Pokemon in the metagame, like Clefable, Magearna (Which both are S tier, but you already know that), Heatran, Melmetal, Blissey, Ferrothorn/Kartana, Fini, among others.
Last but not least, Cinderace can pivot out of unfavorable matchups and bring a good teammate to deal with the opponent while dishing a lot of damage thanks to Libero ( + Choice band if you running it).
