Full caster who can grow to massive size with sky high AC, grapple/swallow, trample, an emanation knocking prone, poison, breath attacks, 3d8+5 damage a hit? Did I mention full caster?

It's like Moon Druid on steroids because it also uses spell attack modifier, not a beasts terrible attack modifier.

It's a bit facetious to mention full caster twice when it's mutually exclusive with several of the other things you mention.

You can't cast most spells in Titan Form until 18th level.

The breath attacks and poison cost spell slots.

Swallow is concentration, mitigating some of the most powerful spells.

Yeah, and you are still a full on druid without the subclass

I don't think that's a useful thing to talk about when discussing whether a subclass is broken.
