Is Indomitable still worth picking up?

Think of it as a specialist rather than an all-purpose carrier. Its planes are fast, but its attacks are limited to rockets and HE bombers, with no torpedo squadron. If that unusual setup is part of the appeal, it could be an interesting pick. I wouldn’t choose it expecting a flexible or especially forgiving carrier.

I wouldn’t make the purchase hinge on slingshotting. That trick depends on the timing and protection around aircraft recalls, and older guides may not match the current mechanics. If it matters to you, test it in the current client or get a recent confirmation before spending.

If the ship’s look and the challenge are the main draw, those are fair reasons to want it. For performance, though, check advice that matches the current patch rather than relying on old rankings. Carrier mechanics can shift, and the details here don’t establish how it fares after recent changes.
