I can't get my dwarves to collect it anymore, I get "need at least 10 undisturbed webs" or sth. to that end, but I have > 100 in the refitted gcs farm. Did anything change in 40.x (I run 40.19) that makes collecting fb silk impossible?

I have occasionally collected FB webs (from the caverns, though, but I was probably on 0.40.19 at the latest time). As far as I know, nothing has changed.
Are you sure they're not trying to collect it from the caverns, where some might be left? You may e.g. have locked the protective door to protect (duh) collectors from getting lethal silk loads in their head while collecting at the same time as you dump a batch on the collection floor, or something similar.

Edit: BTW, FB silk isn't more valuable than ordinary cave spider silk, so from a value perspective GCS silk is better (but an FB silk farm is cooler).

Weird. It were the stockpile links, with incoming stockpile links it can't collect webs, without it works fine. (My GCS died 20 years ago or so, forgotten beast is immortal afaik. And yeah, I don't care about value that much.)

I don't find it weird, though. The webs weren't in the stockpile..
However, you might consider building a workshop exclusively for the purpose of hosting the web collection order on repeat.
