Eating Gebruchts on Pesach
Todays daf (Berachos 38b) states explicitly that you can eat gebruchts on Pesach. The gemara says "יוצאים ברקיק השרוי" says Rashi "במים ידי אכילת מצה של מצוה". You see clearly that there is no problem eating matza that was soaked in water.
You're right. There's even less of a problem today, because the matzos are so thin. In the Gemaras time, a Tephach thick matzoh was not out of the question.

FWIW, I think the matzos today are different.

yes but i think the ovens we use are different etc
The Mishah Berurah says of people who are makpid on Gebrochts, "Ein Maznichin Oson". Loosely, translated as, don't scorn them.
