As with all passes you need to write down every single trip you are taking and compare the individual leg fare vs the pass total.

I am sure the 'pass calculator' websites will be updated accordingly.

JR West and JR Kyushu passes that made sense before probably continue to make sense for those itineraries. JR East passes have very significant increases and will require re-calculations. Shikoku passes already got nerfed earlier in the year. I'm not interested in Hokkaido so can't comment on those increases.
