how will "problematic" mods be handled?

I just stumbled upon this mod:

https://www.nexusmods.com/readyornot/mods/101

All it does is removing the damaged glass texture from shields. Innocent at first glance but tbh... I enjoy the broken glass and think it adds to tactical consideration in gameplay since once the shield guy got hit up so bad his shield's all messy, he cant really aim anymore which makes him either switch to his primary or simply loose lethality - which is perfectly fine imo.

I'm always in for anything that adds "realistic immersion".

So now im wondering... how will mods like this that decrease difficulty and alters gameplay mechanics be handled with in the future?
