I feel that Judge's video doesn't accurately portray the situation. This is no fault of Judge's, but of the visual quality of his videos. Those frames he shows do make it hard to see. But notice how much better quality the actual game is than his videos. Of course the shimmer will be hard to notice in thst video, it's been compressed to fit on the Youtube player and reduced in quality. In game, shimmer is much easier to see.
As well, the people claiming it's easy to see cloak shimmer are probably under the toupee fallacy to some degree. But a lot of those players talk about seeing the shimmer whenever they are not engaged in a firefight, or aren't actively hunting a vehicle, or in some way are distracted from looking for the shimmer. I spot scouts with cloaks thinking they can run straight at me to place remotes on my tanks, and they get popped rather easily. Also, you can spot a cloak standing still by noticing how the environment bends in the shape of a dropsuit. I notice this many times, and I'm sure there are times I've missed it. But I was probably focusing on something else when I missed it.
This is the point of the cloak. It makes it easier to move around a heated firefight and get to a flanking position, because the enemy is busy with the ones shooting at them. That's the entire point of it. Cloaks are working as intended here.
I will grant that I've seen a bug where cloakers pop in and out of rendering (He disappears completely from view, and reappears as I get closer.) This needs to be fixed ASAP, but as far as the shimmer goes, if you aren't fighting someone and you don't spot it, you are either not paying attention, or he's behind you and not in your field of view to begin with.

Did you change the video your 720p in the youtube settings (it always defauts to a lower quality than that). I record in the EXACT same quality as the game. I have done a pixel count test. Its EXACTLY the same.
And when you increase the screen size , such as going fullscreen even in 720p, the quality lowers. Again, this isn't your fault, it's the video quality. As I said, I've spotted plenty of scouts trying to sneak around me, and I'm in a tank. There are surely plenty I haven't noticed, but this is because I was busy chasing another tank, or in a fight with some AV, or in some way focused elsewhere and not on my surroundings.
