Why wait. Start switching now.
Probably the easiest way to get a backup is backintime and an external disk. Although if you really care about your data you should use a 3-2-1 strategy.
It was still malicious code. A different attack for sure, but no less devastating for the victims.
However, manjaro places the button to enable it right next to enabling snaps and flatpaks. Both of which are perfectly safe to install if not safer than average packages.
The snap store has already been used to distribute malware, one guy lost a lot of money in crypto, and I'm sure it wasn't an isolated incident. I think it would be naive to think flathub isn't being targeted in the same way. Same advice as the aur, be cautious.
SLE is a fork of factory. Leap is based on SLES with community additions, it's why SUSE changing to ALP and dropping desktop support in the new version was such a big thing for the future of Leap.
I'd also recommend Mint with Mate or Xfce. They have a German forum too.

Well, I guess if someone calls and says you have kidnapped a little girl and that they have seen you with a gun, the police can't take a chance that it's hoax. All phone numbers that call the police should be logged and if it turns out to be a hoax, traced, so people who make hoax calls can be arrested and prosecuted.
As the article says, only when it blew up. But you're right, the author doesn't look good either.
