Can anyone smarter than me confirm if this is true? TLDR is that effective ring size on Monero transactions can drop to 4.2 with this attack method. All is not lost though, full chain membership proofs are coming eventually which would negate this kind of attack entirely. FCMP increases the ring size to include every transaction ever made as decoys which would exponentially increase Monero's privacy.

It's a well known issue, yes. That's also why FCMP++ is such a big deal despite increasin trabdaction size.
The papers results are theoretical to some degree and based on certain assumptions. I think up until now people thought (or hoped) that the statistical reduction would only be in the ball park of 6-8.
