Chemistry used to be awesome but has been nerfed to the point where it is completely useless. The most lethal poisons can be found in Vending Machines, Botany, and the Kitchen. The most powerful sedative can be found in vending machines. Medicines have been made a lot worse with the addition of overdose effects, and can all(including a few chemistry can't even make) can be found in Medbay or Botany. Almost anything interesting or useful can be made without setting foot in Chemistry. Basically the only reason to go into Chem is to make smoke or thermite.
So, what I'm saying is make it less terrible. Don't go back to when chemists were gods among men who could destroy the station on a whim, but go back to a time between then and now, when they had been weakened but could still do some pretty cool shit. Add some poisons or sedatives they can actually just make. Add some cool shit they can do. Make it so that Stable Mutagen isn't terrible. Shit like that.
