SE is such an odd study in Hail Marys. Time after time, starting from the original Final Fantasy, the company was nearly run into the ground by the fever dreams of upper management but pulled back from the brink of failure into a sudden wild success. The pattern repeats, as newer management hoping to make their mark takes that foundation and squanders it on an obvious boondoggle that leaves SE assed-out. Now, more to the point, I don't think the game will really suffer from any of this directly; it's the biggest money-maker they've got right now besides the gatcha stuff on mobile.
