The diabetes study you cited appears to be junk science. I'm not claiming that COVID-19 absolutely doesn't cause diabetes, just that we won't know one way or another until larger studies are performed with proper methods.

Also, color me incredulous that we're getting reliable long term data... 2 years after a disease appeared in humans.

We'll get long term data, after a long term has passed.

And yes, there are always going to be >0 people with permanent organ damage. Because disease progression in a human host is a complex system. But what actually matters is the incidence rate at scale.

Or, to put it another way, everyone has a >0 chance of winning the lottery, but does that mean they should invest in lottery tickets?

The CDC study does have methodological problems, but there's also been prior research that suggests similar effects (in more severely ill patients), as well as observing destruction of insulin-creating pancreas cells by COVID19. Here's a meta-analysis of 8 studies on the topic, with similar conclusions, done across China, Italy, and the U.S.:
