>People who actually work in the industry and have first-hand experience over decades are saying they have a shortage of talented people and things are going to shit
Where are the people saying this? Every source I've known/seen from old animators and directors (people who've been in the industry as far back as the 60s-70s) like Tomino and Takahata, or even 90s guys like Mitsuo Iso, have all said that there's more talent in the anime industry today than there's ever been.
Tomino himself actually laments that he'd never be able to create something like Kimetsu no Yaiba (lol) back in the day because it was physically impossible.
They all attribute the decline in quality of modern anime specifically to the fact that the industry's grown too much; In the past, all of the talented writers, animators, directors, musicians, and artists could easily find themselves working on similar projects; That's why there's so many fucking phenomenal anime OVAs or anime movies from back in the day; The industry was smaller.
Now everybody's scattered across hundreds of studios. There's 50+ anime being made per season. Studios have to settle for hiring maybe a talented animator but have to skim off and hire an average director because the talented director's somewhere else making a project with good direction but shitty visuals.
If you want to see the modern industry coming together and gathering tons of talent across the board on a singular project, go watch the first season of Mushoku Tensei. Second season runs into the issue of a lot of the talent that made season 1 good being held up on other projects and not being able to return.
The animation and even art quality of a lot of modern television anime has gotten so good that you'll only find better stuff in classic movies and OVAs, not TV series.
