Blah blah blah creatures have become better and mythics are splashy just because. Tamanoa was a fun build around but a little weak compared to modern Magic. I don't think this card is unreasonable.
Now, I don't want to obsolete Tamanoa, but if I'm turning something into a mythic, I'm pretty sure I can pretend the previous card didn't exist.
It wasn't a tournament staple, but when it came out it was a Johnny/Timmy favorite. When this card was in print, I swear, like half the casual deck lists I saw included her. I don't think the reason why Tamanoa didn't see the tournament scene wasn't because Tamanoa wasn't good enough... there just wasn't a good enough Naya deck in Timespiral for it to matter.
I think Mythic + creature creep does mean we can get a slightly better card than Tamanoa. But universal lifelink... hmm... I would probably call that card a 5cc rare enchantment. How that would translate into a 2/4 Mythic creature that's three colors, though, I'm not sure.
Based on Tamanoa, I'm guessing? I like this. I hope we see it on a card someday.
This is such a straight upgrade of Tamanoa that I would expect it to cost more.
Yes, I agree with both those comments.

I don't think Tamanoa is that weak. I could easily see it being printed as-is as a rare in a modern set.
