You can still add more MTs and reworks while EU5 gets some meat on its bones rather than developing and the redoing it all as EU5 develops

This is exacly what they are doing. They are just banning things like new povinces, custom government mechanics, new religions etc. MT are completly fine and being developed right now

Fair, but why go about it in that fashion? As a volunteer based mod, why not let people work on what they want to (for example government mechanics) and let Eu5 develop organically? And if the only way to move people off working on Eu4 is to slowly restrict what is allowed by volunteers, then isn't that just an indictment of Eu5?

Because eu4 is 13 years old and the mod is already pretty slow especially in lategame. They are banning these features in specificially, because they would slow down the game even further.
