It seems like there's a lot of evidence suggesting that the Greenwrath is considerably weaker than it was prior to the Calamity. Given how much of a catastrophic impact it had on the environment in general, it makes sense that the elementals would be less able to punish/drive out those they deemed a threat in their current state.
But that's sort of tangential to what seems like a pretty valid/interesting point- there's inconsistency between the 1.0 Ixal information in the Raven, and the information provided in the Botanist questline. It could be retconning, or one of the sources being an unreliable source of information. Or, like mentioned upthread, it could be the summoning of Garuda that made the Ixal the enemies of Gridania and caused them to break the peace.
