I think the problem is IDW Splinter. He did tell his sons to take a vow of "No Kill". In #50, he actually breaks his oath(kill Shredder) and take over the Foot Clan. Whether his actions were intended to protect his son and for other noble reasons, he is still a failed mentor and that's why the turtles disappointed in him. At least, 2012 Splinter tells the turtles that they must kill if necessary because they're ninjas.

They said issue 6 is when the series gets its true start with the new story. These first 5 issues are just a reintroduction to the characters after a timeskip for new readers. Granted I think spending 5 months on a slow burn for a new #1 is a weird choice, but it is what it is.

Narratively if the first four issues weren't going to be a mini (and it obviously should've been) then they probably should've just intercut between all 4 Turtles' stories in each issue of the 4 issues.

I agree. I feel it's a waste of time and these solo tales won't really matter in the long run once the story starts proper. Like no one's gonna mention Raph being in jail or Mikey won't be calling his contacts in Hollywood to help things along or whatever after the story actually gets started.

Seriously, how many times are they going to quarrel? Didn't they all agreed to go their own path, and now Mikey suddenly blame his brother abandon for him? This is as silly as the future Donnie thing.

If I remember correctly, softshells are carnivorous, and they will even eat other turtles smaller than themselves.
