GL Luke vs SLK - Absolutely Crazy
Well, I got my first taste of this in arena today. A non-ult, not even fully zeta'd GLLuke under JKL can absolutely dismiss the SLK matchup. I see reports of this with SEE vs. SLK as well where SLK ...

There is also a small problem in your comparison of GL.
JML and Rey are using the exact same toons to be efficient against the other GL. While SLKR just use Fo and SEE sith empire.
Not really balanced from this point of view
There's a lot of SEE + SE partially because we're seeing enemy teams with taunts in the leader slot, which invites DR. It's not even clear if SEE is the best leader for this compared to DR lead with SE synergy (lots of ferocity and crit damage).
Also, FO has an obvious advantage synergy with all of these SLKR+Hux perm-advantage mechanics, while SEE doesn't have such a thing. SEE's sith requirements like Sid and Maul were totally neglected despite a CW era focus and are pretty much dead weight, so it will take some time to see which Sith will work since people with SEE may not have all the other sith geared up yet. Sion actually gets nerfed by SEE's kit, but DN and Traya could be good, for example.
Lastly, most arena shards will probably heavily lean towards SLKR (especially shards 3 years or younger), and judging by responses here so far, it doesn't look like any sith team can make room for SEE and still beat SLKR since in that matchup SEE is the dead weight.
tldr: we'll see what team SEE winds up using.
