If Wildshape becomes a watered down, less interesting and adaptable combat focused feature with no extra HP, the Druid becomes more reliant on spellcasting actually. So it becomes more similar to other spellcasting classes, and less Druid.
I would propose that any class that is not reliant first and foremost on spellcasting as their primary class feature should not be a full caster class. That's how powerful spellcasting is.
So what should be done about Bladesingers, Valor & Swords Bards, Hexblade Warlocks, and martial-focused clerics?
I'm not quite sure where you are going with this, because you and I both know that wizards, bards, and clerics have spellcasting as their primary class feature. And so do druids.

Bards are classed as 'experts' for a reason; they get a pretty substantial amount of their effectiveness from things other than spells.
A druid should not be 'complete class without even using spells', but they also shouldn't be 'complete class with spells and nothing else'.
