I honestly think some of it depends on your shard. If you have the fastest team by a large margin, you can go no tanks. But the issue with no tanks is, if the speeds are close and the other Vader gets a turn fairly soon, then, because of the whole "if everyone hits 100% TM, RNG decides" issue, things can go south fast for a No Tank team. Any Palp lead team becomes VERY easy to beat once Palp is down. Even with his zeta unique, he is still squishy enough to take down without a tank protecting him.
My November 2015 has almost all EP lead w/tank teams. Some actually have 2 tanks - (GK/ST, GK/Sion or even Sion/ST). Some will run EP/Vader/DN. Others prefer Thrawn in place of DN.
Some of that might be to prevent "tank switching" to beat them. What I mean is, many were running 4 DS + GK - but will swap in a g12 Shore on offense, just to outspeed the teams with GK. But much of the top 20 in our shard have very strong speed mods and have fairly similar teams.
