"Is Linux Mint In Trouble?"
Talk about a click bait headline!
umm, changes that are a consequence of Canonical f'ing things up don't equal a doomed distribution. Clem (lead developer) and team (like umm yea they have multiple full time paid developers) have done an excellent job overall and most of what is needed to make a Debian base of Linux Mint work well are already being done by MX Linux.
Linux Mint should switch to the Debian base, then import the graphics stack from MX Linux Advanced Hardware Support (AHS) repository to get back the sole real benefit that building off Ubuntu offers. That is the LTS enablement stack which basically consists of improved hardware support (graphics and kernel). Either from the repository if manually installed or via point releases.
