We once had the official double jump perk and it was a blast (it was removed in a week for game balance, just for the new miners who don't know). Now thinking back to it, is it game-balancely possible to have double jump back but with a long enough CD, like 30s?

How so?
I would love to hear from dev side of things why it would break the game.
The reason is the same as why it was originally pulled. As a perk, it completely overrides most traversal tools in a lot of situations, which becomes an even bigger issue when playing with others. If an engineer double-jumps onto a ledge instead of making a platform, the other players can't really follow. That makes the perk a must-have since you'd been in games where the other players might not use their tools for the team to go somewhere, and that's not a design choice we like.
