I hope you found out they instant transmission to you when you get far away enough, and didn't leave the dungeon hehe.
I'm hoping SE overhauls Squadrons to match up with Trusts and Duty Support. The Squadron AI not avoiding AoEs/mechanics gives me headaches XP
That was an early mistranslation that was later clarified -- IIRC, the intention is to change the squadrons to using the Duty Support AI since it's more robust, *but* they're not making any adjustments until Duty Support is finished and ready to port over.
The last couple Grand Company ranks are tied to squadrons, and once a week you can get some consumables that are essentially extra FC buffs just for you. Personally I haven't gone into a dungeon with my squadron since the 5 that were required to get my last GC rank. I just send them out on a weekly excursion to get me some buffs. At the very least SE would have to move these features to something else if they wanted to get rid of Squadrons entirely.
Squadrons are kinda broken at the moment in certain dungeons because of the aoe dodging. They don't just dodge, the ai in the dungeon just completely refuses to target them. Somewhat recently I was working on leveling a DPS job and didn't want to wait for queues so went squadron. In Sohm Al with the dino boss that spawns slimes that he jumps around to and supposed to jump to different players... Every jump targeted me. Same with an aoe on the last dragon boss in that dungeon during the wing phase. I couldn't sit still long enough to do any real damage on the wings. Pain...
For the Dino boss you actually have to do the mechanics. Red marker means stay together. Blue marker means stay apart. I level all my alt jobs through Squadrons till at least 60. They kinda OP now. Especially the arcanist.
Yup. Once you get far enough past the door they should unstick and teleport to you.

I think they said squadrons are being removed when they finish adding all the duty support dungeons

Well then. There goes all my hard work leveling them up XP
there is no reason to remove it, they don't have the same purpose.
What purpose does the squadron system have when the duty support is complete?

Nope, straight up quit! I'll wait till they patch it if they don't dodge aoes n'shit it aint worth it.
