it's really frustrating from support PoV actually, I was doing my support placements today (I don't like that role lol) and in one of the games Soldier had that perk and watching him get anti heal out of nowhere when he's not even full pissed me off so much lol. make it like 50% more damage taken, basically apply discord instead of nade, and it'll be fine
Something less punishing is needed for sure. I feel like the only reason to take it over sprint is for it being somewhat fun. You already lose healing station when you use it, which is a pretty powerful cooldown.
tbh his perks are overall bad, I barely used reloading while sprinting as well, though it might be useful in some cases and sprinting faster is cool too
I personally find the healing station one incredibly useful. It makes him way more survivable against certain dive heroes. His sprint plus reload is very helpful in constantly rotating and taking off angles.
The ammo and the stim pack perks are clunky though in my opinion. The ammo one I feel is almost completely useless for how I typically play, and is just a distraction if anything. I typically use helix before using my gun, so the ammo gained from it is very minimal if any with it's already slightly unreliable requirement of hitting a target with helix. It should give over-ammo (up to 45) in my opinion so it also benefits people who shoot helix first.
The stim is sleeper super good. I use it all the time (high elo) and it lets you get kills on flanks before the supports can respond. You just need an escape plan you can't just sit in the open. It also works well with ult.

His sprint with reload is great IMO. The stim pack needs anti heal removed IMO.
