Fedimints and Cashu will attract the same legal scrutiny. But unlike Monero, they are holding funds! So they will likely be even more scrutinized. Look at what happened to Tornado Cash.

My understanding is that mints are grassroots initiatives run by one or more individuals which makes them somehow volatiles, hard to find and to take down.

Maybe so, but it runs into a catch 22 imo

Well-known mint runners are less likely to rug, but easier to find and take down

Anonymous/Pseudonymous mint runners are harder to find and take down, but it's easier for them to rug-n-run

Agreed. There will always be tradeoffs obviously.
