The field commander rules are absolutely terrible as written. Its all upside and no real downside.
The problematic lists are going to be the ones that dont include actual commanders and only include field commanders.
Allowing CIS to not have to take an actual commander is absurd. Especially when that same advantage isnt given to rebels or empire.
I understand your concerns, but after trying the new rules out with my CIS army it feels pretty balanced. The AAT isnt that much cheaper than Grievious, and like others have said you really miss aggressive tactics and Grievious's flexibility with his movement and ability to interact with objectives. The tank can basically just point and shoot (and is real good at it), but Grievious or Dooku allow you way more ways to shut your opponent down.
