Here they are for so there's no misunderstanding:
It seems he's keeping his word since the Saiyans haven't used the forms yet. So the tidbit should be taken as a fact, until proven wrong.
Toriyama said that Goku won't be using SS2 & SS3 after his fight with Beerus, meaning after he absorbed the power of SSG. When Goku absorbed the power of SSG and returned to his regular form, his power barely decreased, and after he turned into a Super Saiyan, his power barely increased. After that he reached SSB in order to become stronger, but even though the form gives him a significant increase, the boost is less than x2 since he is still much weaker than Beerus.
So, after Goku absorbed the SSG power, both SS & SSB gave him increases below x2 instead of the usual x50 increase. So, I don't believe that SS2 & SS3 (golden or Blue, if possible) have kept their x2 & x4 boosts, they should be smaller than x2 as well. So, while getting a x2/4 increase + ki consumption is a good idea, getting a less than x2 increase + ki consumption isn't. That's why Goku abandoned Super Saiyan Grade 2 in favor of regular Super Saiyan back then, it gave him a big, yet smaller than x2, increase + ki consumption.
We saw what happened with Freeza in both his Full Power & Golden forms. Full Power Freeza started close to SS Goku, yet after a few minutes he became much weaker than SS Goku due to his ki consumption, to the point that he wasn't even worth Goku's time. Golden Freeza started stronger than SSB Goku, yet after a few minutes he became weaker than SSB Goku, again due to his ki consumption.
So, let's say that SSB Goku & SSB Vegeta, who are equals in FnF, fight. Goku if Goku was to use Super Saiyan Blue Grade 2 or Super Saiyan Blue 2 or Super Saiyan Blue 3, he would have been stronger than Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, but due to the ki consumption, he would eventually fall below Vegeta, and Vegeta would win. If Goku was to do the same against a stronger opponent like Beerus, he would just lose faster. That's why SSG2, SS2, and SS3 are now abandoned.
