Jatu were the bane of anything in PoP:MnB.
Warband is different. Much different. They aren´t as fearsome anymore than they used to be due to the changed fighting mechanics.
Which promoted them. They´re now officially El Loco farming parties whereas beforehands they were dreaded too much to bother to extinguish them.
Once you sucked up the initial charge via clever positioning or a feigned countercharge, they get trapped, entangled and cut down by anything your order to charge at them. Sure, you get some losses, but not that tragic or annoying as it used to be.
I´ve had far worse encounters going toe to toe against them in 3.01 than I have now - which does not mean they need to be buffed up to nightmarish level again BUT rather that they´re better balanced now. Just like cavalry isn´t that overpowering anymore in Warband.
I recently started to like them abonimations upon Huzzah - plenty of the buggers around, good loot, good xp and quickly killed.
