> Short peptides injection are worse because: minimal immune stimulation, less of a mechanism to train the immune system on the peptide targets, have not been effective.

If the problem of peptide vaccines is weak immune stimulation, then wouldn't the problem of mRNA vaccines be autoimmunity?

No, why would that be? Auto-immunity comes from immune cells targeting healthy cells, and the mRNA peptide translations do not correspond to healthy cells.
