Is anyone else noticing that since 2.4, the only rank missions are Strike missions to kill pirates? I have been to half a dozen stations with different economies and still have yet to find a different mission. If you have found something else, please let me know where! If you are noticing that you have this issue as well, please post so we can get FDEV to notice and fix this!

I've noticed this as well.
Part of me likes it, as naval missions should be rather martial.

Yes, here too
NLTT 21440, Delbruck Gateway. Although combat missions are prevalent, there are lots of surface scan, base infiltration, cargo, smuggling, data, passenger, donation missions, etc.
2.4 tested. Get max rep with all 5 Fed factions and you're laughing. In one trip loaded with several missions types in my Python last night, I went from 82% to 93% Post Captain.
I tell a lot of people about this system, but rarely see another CMDR there. Get it while it's hot

I sort of liked the missions before. I always seemed to get the illegal stuff.
Smuggle this THING into THAT station.
Retrieve this illegal cargo or secret transmission.
Assassinate this person.
Carry this rebel leader to that base, don’t get scanned.
It had the feel of ‘special ops’ kind of work. Naval Intelligence Office. Off the record. Will deny any knowledge of you if caught.

Might give that system a visits since my rank is only Warrant Officer.

The OP is, I believe, talking about the ranking-up missions being of only one variety, a concern that has been voiced a number of times since 2.4 came out.
How is it at your end of the bubble?
Ah ok, sorry. I haven't ranked up in 2.4 yet, I'll get the Corvette in the next day or two. I'll let you know what mission type the ranking mission is.
Yes, I've only ever bothered with the ones that require you to deliver goods (Federal Supply Mission, IIRC). Far easier than chasing after pirates or whatever.
To my knowledge, FDev has not yet commented but it's likely a bug. There have been some players that haven't seen any ranking missions, period. (raises hand) If you want to wait it out, just continue to run the missions you normally choose. You'll still continue to gain the appropriate rep. When it's fixed, *you should* get repeating opportunities to rank until your ranks catch up to the rep points you've accumulated. I agree, it's a pain in the Rear Admiral when this happens.
I went through this with my Imperial ranks during 2.2-2.3 patches. It delayed my ascension to Prince and ultimately, my Cutter purchase. Now, nearing the end of my Federal run, I pushed it and got my Corvette before the penny dropped.

Yep, thats what is being offered to me too. There doesnt seem to be any other option. I asked about that here in this thread. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/381143-Are-navy-missions-hard-coded
I wouldn't mind if ranking up required completion of a combat mission, but there should at least be a variety of combat missions. The single mission type on offer now is annoying to complete because of the inconsistent spawn of targets, which tests your patience rather than your combat ability. I'd have no problem with doing a base assault or assassination though.

I had not been in Federation space doing missions in a while, so I was overdue for a couple of naval missions.
During the Palin CG I got two of them back to back.
Two ranks in one day!
Clearly they're at Obsidian Orbital.

Ive only been in a dozen systems where one was offered since 2.4, but yes, they have all been strike missions, all against pirates, and i think 6 or more targets. I have never done one of those missions so i figure i can wait til i see a different one. I have had to wait for one in the past that either went somewhere i wanted to go, or was for something i felt confident i would be successful at.
To Clarify...
Sorry for the confusion, I was indeed talking about the Federal Navy missions not just any mission from any fed faction. As far as FDev noticing, they are supposeduly "investigating" https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/379664-Only-Federal-Navy-Strike-Rank-Up-Missions-Spawning/page2.
