Today PBKDF2 is considered old-fashioned and less secure than modern KDF functions because it is not GPU or ASIC resistant.

It is recommended to use Bcrypt, Scrypt or Argon2 instead.

Maybe I am missing something, but isn't the use of PBKDF2 dictated by bip39? If you change that, you would no longer generate the same SEED for a given mnemonic code.
