Radiant Strikes does not do that, a paladin with no special features or weapons will get 2 attacks which adds 1d8 for each hit or 2d8 for a critical. This is basically less damage than is added by Fighter's two extra attacks. Monk does have to use a resource to use Flurry of Blows but by level 11 you get enough you can use it near every round... where Paladin will do more damage is taking Polearm Master and Heavy Weapon Master while using a Polearm but that'll be the case before Radiant Strikes comes along and is a case of GWM being a bit overpowered and PAM still being very overpowered.
radiant strikes makes it so the paladin can do more then a monk with multi attack without resource. they are too strong and resource efficient .

Monks are meant to be garbage anyways. Always have been.
No class is meant to be Garbage and 2024 definitely fixed some of the issues with Monk. The Class balance in 2024 is a lot better, except Ranger.
That was said facetiously.
