All I want to do is edit the description of my boards. However the little pencil icon that used to appear on all boards now only appears on boards that have descriptions.
Here is an example without a button:
How can I change the board description?

As I always wanted this feature, I wrote a bot that keeps cards in sync across Boards.
See if it suits your needs. From the description:
Hello, my name is cardsync and I am a bot designed to keep cards in sync, which means I update the content of one Trello card to reflect changes made on other card.
Also, here's a small gif animation that shows it in action:
You'll need to flag each new board (even if part of an organization) as open to your org (private by default) and then allow org members to join through settings.

Trello is phasing out board descriptions. The button is no longer available for new boards or boards without descriptions. The problem was that most people didn’t know about the feature, and making it more prominent or further investing in it didn’t seem valuable. The team recommends adding a card on the top left that says “Hey, look here for information about this board!” (which is what our team was doing anyway, despite knowing very well about the description button).
For the record, I work on Trello.
