I mean, technically, even in the original Mirage comics, Leatherhead was proof that the turtles weren't supposed to be the only mutants in existence, so I do feel that the turtles and Splinter being the only mutants in an entire era may be a pipedream.
As for what else I missed, 2003 was relative gold, yes (my favorite series at that), but I wouldn't necessarily assume the worst about the future of the franchise as a whole. The 2012 cartoon, while it was focused more on humor, certainly felt like it had some elements of seriousness to it like 2003 did, at least to me.
