See https://keys.openpgp.org/about/news#2019-06-12-launch https://keys.openpgp.org/about/news#2019-06-12-launch for pointers to relevant discussions around this.
Plenty of arguments have been exchanged, and some active steps have been taken. Like the keyserver now also default in Thunderbird (and GnuPG?). There is always more things that can be discussed, and more things to be implemented. I suggest you browse the relevant conversation archives in the most relevant places, and engage there if you want to discuss more.
see e.g. SKS, gnupg, enigmail, autocrypt lists:

Also beyond GDPR, the underlying implementation of what powers the "modern" keys.openpgp.org, Hagrid, groups a lot of interesting "what should a modern keyserver look like" discussions. To pick some examples: https://gitlab.com/hagrid-keyserver/hagrid/-/issues/131 https://gitlab.com/hagrid-keyserver/hagrid/-/issues/131 (improve refresh operations) and https://gitlab.com/hagrid-keyserver/hagrid/-/issues/139 https://gitlab.com/hagrid-keyserver/hagrid/-/issues/139 (padding for privacy)
