I imagine that depends much more on the virus than on the vaccine.

Wouldn't it depend more on how well-chosen the target protein is? If it mutates too fast the vaccine won't be as effective. This says nothing about the effectiveness of the mRNA technique though, which seems to reliable induce an immune response to the target protein.
