This seems more like a community crisis around Nix than a leadership crisis in the Nix community.

What does a community crisis mean exactly?

If every member of the community wants one thing, and the leadership doesn't, then the community wins, every time.

Sure but this letter is not by "every member", not even close. It's just a letter by a very loud minority. In such a case I don't think the outcome is actually all that clear. As people have been saying from the beginning, the writers of the letter can always just fork the codebase and the fact that they haven't done that implies that they are unsure if enough of the community would follow them.
