6th edition rules for Chaos Daemons gave +3 LD to Tzeentchian daemons when manifesting psychic powers.
Well this is obsolete now that we don't use LDs for psykers, right?
Shouldn't this be changed somehow? I checked the recent FAQs and there is no mention of this.

Until unless GW errata this (don't hold your breath) this now simply provides +3LD when taking Perils of the Warp tests.

The primary reason for the +3 Ld was seemingly to allow Horrors to manifest their psychic shooting attacks without undue difficulty. Now that horrors can still theoretically manifest spells (if given enough supporting dice), any compensation buff errata to replace the Ld bonus should also target other psykers who were Ld9 or 10, which I doubt would happen.

In that case, are re-rolling saving throws of 1 and hatred v. Nurgle enough for Tzeentchian daemons?

In comparison, the others get:

Khorne - Furious Charge, Hatred v. Slaanesh, Chariot HoWs at S7

Nurgle - Shrouded, Slow and Purposeful, Hatred v. Tzeentch and defensive grenades

Slaanesh - Fleet, Rending, Run +D3, Hatred v. Khorne

If you perils you get to use that higher ld value on a fair few results

Wouldn't the bonus also apply for powers requiring leadership tests, like Purge Soul?

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.
