Could it be that we are simply diagnosing them better?
Just throwing it out there as a plausible explanation since autoimmune disorders are commonly diagnosed based on a multitude of symptoms none of which definitely indicates an autoimmune disorder independently; similarly, I find it highly likely the rise in cancer diagnosis to be at least partially linked to better diagnostics too.

Having even less knowledge about how vaccines and our immune systems work seems like reason to be even more cautious, not less cautious.
Especially considering the fact that autoimmune disorders have been on the rise for decades, and we don't know why.
