The real question I think is will Reddit retaliate back and forcibly recover communities and install new mods?

It's already started.

It makes sense from their perspective but still kinda shitty.

And I'm sure the new mods being installed will have an even stronger alignment with Reddit's philosophy and direction which will only make life in that place more hellish.

I'm glad I jumped ship when I did.

If they tried to hire enough mods to do a quality job of it they'd be bankrupt by the end of the year. I don't know if they'll have enough capable volunteers for a significant fraction of the subreddits.
