This is not as harsh as other nerfs he's got. It's lots of words but in fact it just makes him plunder less gold. Having more Barrels early in exchange for less later on is neutral (also note that the recharge CD is lower late game now).

Having plunder gold not scaling with Q levels means you'll have the option of maxing W first again (altho it's less effective than it used to be).

As for ult upgrades, they seem unaffected by these changes, if not actually buffed for the first one. Since their price is halved, but Silver Serpent gain is only truly halved at Q max rank (meaning L.9), there should be a period where you get more than the half of what you used to get. For example, currently Parrrley at rank 3 gives you 6 SS while the ult upgrade costs 500. If these changes go through, Parrrley at rank 3 will give you 4 SS while the ult upgrade costs 250).
