Given our previous fairly mixed results with introducing foreign species into new habitats where they can flourish, this sounds like it'd most likely be pretty bad for the current ecosystems there.

While I generally agree, as far as I’m not mistaken they are not foreign to these regions at all - on the grand scheme of things they just disappeared from there very recently

I would expect that the current ecosystems there have adapted to Mammoths no longer existing?

Maybe, though I doubt it would have had long enough time to alter too much - so I don’t think it would be anything similar to introducing an invasive species.
