The long charge is enough of a penalty, the immobilisation is excessive.

I think that would be ideal. The return of the splash would make the AFG a suppression weapon that requires timing. The range on the BFG would make it the super long range hand held rail sniper.
AFG never lost its splash, only the vanilla and BFG because they could camp up high, hold a charge and wait for someone to walk below before hitting them with splash damage from mulitple Forges.

I'd like to see the immobilisation removed on the Breach, more than anything. Extra range on the Breach would probably just enrage Rail Tankers.

I still think that's the best course of action regarding this weapon. Rattati seemed keen to the idea. Are you really quite sure about this? When exactly do you need additional range with the BFG, or a FG at all?
When dealing Rail tanks?
A Rail tank usually doesn't have much to worry vs a Forge since they both have the same range but the Rail has quicker initial charge, no need to charge follow up shots and other benefits, meaning they have no long range counter that isn't another Rail or an OB.
Giving the BFG extra range would make it a Rail tank's counter, while the slow charge and immobilisation of the BFG combined with the general sluggishness of the Sentinel and only having a sidearm for close range defence keeps it from being OP. Get up close and it's pretty screwed. Plus, the render range on infamtry means that extra range won't make the BFG a Heavy Sniper since it won't see anyone further that it already foes.
I think Tebu might trying to set up the AFG for closer range (point defence, ADS counter , Blaster tank hunting etc) with the vanilla for general denial and longer range combat with the BFG for extreme range overwatch and Rail counter.
