The main problem is if the church goes to a more liberal church and they accept more things that older prophet declared as a sin! Sec the church don’t explain why the did change the policy!
The church doing the same mistake as the Protestant church and Catholic Church giving in from pressure from outside!
So I think church losing big in credibility because of all this adaptation to external pressure and not following the doctrine!
Another question popped up is how modern revelation that contradict earlier revelation of early prophet of the church fits! Did the early prophet revelation been wrong or the new revelation is wrong, because both can’t be true!

One of many reason is geography, that you can’t finding the city BoM talks about. But Jerusalem or ancient Egypt or Persian city you can go today and visit. Sec problem meny anti Mormons have is Joseph Smith first vision problem that church admit that there was several of first vision with different story.
And the last thing is Joseph smith him self behavior is not good example (for the church and members) that can be chocking a lot for new members too the church.
When they discover that the historical facts is not on the church side.
Specially in contrast to what the church teaches about Joseph is almost like a saint!
The same with Joseph translation of pearl of great price show is false.
Joseph credibility of translation of the BoM suffer a lot, because of it and in the long run the credibility of the church.
But the biggest problem I think ex members have is that church doesn’t make clear once and for all what happened and why! It’s like opened wound for all of them.
And yes it’s problematic for the church that all this question aren’t answered.
For me it doesn’t bother me but I can understand that for many people it is a big problem.
