The LLVM divorce has also gotten criticism since it first was announced and we have so far not seen any complete solution. Maybe we will land in one but if people did not voice their concerns there is no reason to think such a solution would be found.

What is there to criticize though? What "solution" is necessary?

LLVM is not and was never going away as a compiler backend, it will just not be the default one and you will be able to compile zig without it (though in practice everyone will for prod releases)
