It's still potentially dangerous.
You're right that progress has been made on most of the attack vectors, but as you point out, DNS lookups are still often done in plaintext. CT and pinning help, but not every site does it yet. Not all protocols are TLS yet, and of those that are, some are vulnerable to downgrade attacks (including SMTP).
It's definitely safer than it was, but there are still enough potential pitfalls that I'd avoid it for anything important - or at least use a tunnel. Besides, 4g is usually better anyway.
