What is the cutoff to be considered in good shape?
Is it still 2/3/4/5 pl8?

Desu if you hit all three of those, you /fit/ness-mog the vast majority of people even though they ain't that impressive. Some random special farces criteria if u want elite shape.

People frequently misunderstand these things when they look them up and think the minimum is what they should meet. Whenever you see those standards, bear in mind that people who actually make it into those organizations are probably maxing multiple categories and scoring highly in all, and even that is really just a bare minimum to try out for the rest of the training which has a high attrition even among people who did very well on the fitness standards to enter.

Or they see the minimum scores and think "well, I can do that" but forget that's it's one right after the other, or after a week of getting smoked and ran into the ground all week long with minimal sleep/nutrition and then taking the test.

Good shape and strength standards are two different things. Being in shape means you can run, hike, ride a bike and do bodyweight stuff at an above average level. You can be strong, benching 3pl8s and be in bad shape, struggling to walk up stairs, unable to run for longer than 5 minutes.

Your max bench is irrelevant. I think a fair amount can't bench 2 plate, it doesn't even get tested lol. Bench is irrelevant. Take a 40kg backpack (make sure it's comfy) and walk for hours if you want a nice physical requirement simulation. The physical reqs always favored a more skinny build for the pull ups and running.
But scew a career in the military never join especially not for US or western Europe.

There's absolutely no fitness or practical advantage to being able to run marathons. If you can easily jog a few miles you have plenty of cardio fitness for health and practicality. More than that and it starts becoming at the expense of more useful things.
