If you think the various possible futures that depict the world occupied by Utroms and/or full of mutants is meant to be where the world is going, rather than some nightmare scenario that the heroes will try to prevent, you really don't understand storytelling.

Mutant Town itself does not work as a long time setting because it is a small quarantined area in poverty that will eventually run out potential rather quickly. TMNT is largely about exploring a huge insane world with a variety of concept, coupled with the lonliness of being unique creatures, something you can't have if you force the stories to take place in a small area where the turtles blend in.

Once enough mutant characters have been introduced, the series will keep the interesting ones and find a way to discard the majority of mutants who did not get any focus. Either by curing them, exiling them to another world or in a straight up massacre. There is no way it'll last forever because that would be really boring.

And yes, even for a single movie, Mutant Town would be bad choice because the only point of it is set-up for other stories!
