Legacy Snorlax Lick Body Slam
I was lucky to hatch a 95 IV Snorlax with Lick and Body Slam. After a lot of candy and dust, Snorlax is now over 3000 CP, which gets punished with the new gym rules. Before the new rules, I wanted to change lick to Zen Head-butt. I got my first fast TM today after 15 solo raids two stars or less.
I wanted to get other people's thoughts on using it to obtain Zen Head-butt.
My current thought, maybe the gyms will change and defense will be possible again and Zen Head-butt will be a legacy fast move by then. Plan for the future and use it on Snorlax.
I don't see myself using this Snorlax for raids, since Body Slam is not super effective against anything.

3000+ CP mons don't get punished with the new system; they get favored. Their motivation erodes faster, so that it is depleted after about eight hours or so, which is exactly what you want. That's about enough to collect a day's maximum free coins. It doesn't really do you any good to have a mon sitting in a gym longer than that.
I wouldn't be in a hurry to change the fast move, but if you had several of them, I'd consider making the change. As for zen headbutt becoming a legacy move, I don't think they would do that without adding another at least equally good defensive fast move, such as confusion or extrasensory. But there is no way to really know for sure what changes will be made. The only certainty is that there will be changes over time.
I would do it. I use my ZH/BS for raids and it performs fairly well against mon weak to psychic. Also, if I haven't already gotten my coins for the day, I put him in a gym and hope he stays there until the next day.
It comes down to: 1) What do you want to use him for? And 2) What are your other options for the TM?
