The visibility fix is both useful and required. I think it is incorporated in the two big modpackes NYGM and GW. Also I have the impression that the air bases and patrols were also tweaked in these mods (It's best someone from the modpack teams to answer that).
The default snorkeldepth was known as problematic and was assessed either by manual methods in every mission or by individual mods. This holds true especially for IXD/2. Check this:
