I swear at the end of 2023 a lot of teams are running her (Especially the Americas team) on split, was she acc good in 2023 and good enough to replace omen?
split and abyss (IMO) are the only maps where astra is even remotely comparable to omen, and her utility can be stronger than omen's depending on the comp, which is why she's played a lot on those maps
that doesn't mean astra is good though. i main astra -- she sucks right now. it's like saying brimstone is good because he's basically a permapick on bind

astra is probably the best pick for solo smokes for any post plant heavy maps. Astra has seen usage on maps like bind, haven, lotus, abyss, split, the maps where once you get the plant down, you dont have to really fight too much, just delay a lot, but because the current meta is heavy into fighting, omen is picked more. Astra haven is also more limited than an omen, or the old viper double smokes imo
