Adding Piranha Solution as a new acid(oxidizer)/pyrochem (post your thoughts!)

I would rather revisit the acids we have already and make them appropriately effective than adding just stronger variants on top of an already shaky foundation.

I would agree, however the current acids while effective in melting clothes and faces, will simply not dissolve organics to any extent like piranha solution does IRL, even if you take a bath in the acids. This is due to the difference between acids, and oxidizers. Where oxidizers instead of slowly decomposing the substance, will remove atoms from the molecules into their base form in a FAST violent reaction, this due to the presence of the oxidizer H2O2, which when in an acidic environment (sulfuric acid) concentrates it.

Having a bath in the strong acids available (Sulfuric, Hydrochloric, Flurosulfuric, and Aqua tenebrae) I agree should cause BURN DoT if lying in it, but don't (as to why I'm going to assume coding and cycles of liquid), but I believe they still do when moving around in it as each movement counts as a TOUCH. 

But apart from this inaccuracy, I'm having trouble as to what you mean by "very bad place", "appropriately effective", or "shaky foundation". All current acids have various levels of burn damage associated, and while sulfuric and hydrochloric share the same behavior, all have unique uses and synthesis properties that set them apart. I could be wrong, but they all seem to act in essentially the way that they would do IRL. Please elaborate and let me know what you mean.

The only change I could see making is to change hydrochloric acid to have these differing properties from sulfuric:
Corrosion: Hydrochloric acid is more corrosive than sulfuric acid, meaning more BURN damage.
Dilution: Diluting hydrochloric acid doesn't produce as much heat as diluting sulfuric acid, and therefore should not heat in the same way or at all.
Concentration: Hydrochloric acid can be used at higher concentrations than sulfuric acid, and therefore shouldn't cause the beaker to shatter or smoke until a much higher heat.
Fuming: Hydrochloric acid fumes, creating noxious corrosive odors, more BURN and TOX damage when aerosolised or ingested.
