IMHO, GoT handled the nudity well. There weren't any scenes that were there
just to show boobs (that I can recall), there was always something else too.

I would probably be more bothered if there weren't any, given the setting and
the nude's (mostly) being whores, it would feel sillier for them to cover themselves.

Just adds that little bit of "realism".

Except for nude Hordor, that was bloody pointless.

I think the nudity in GoT did indeed tell a storytelling purpose, for the most part. Sure there were some things that we could have done without (Hodor's wang, for example. But that was in the book, so chalk it up to being accurate) but so many of the scenes that caused people to get all up in arms did serve a purpose. The famous scene with Littlefinger and the two whores in Episode 8 tells a lot about Littlefinger's character - everything in his life is based on lies and illusion, including his business. I thought it was a great scene.
