I don't know very much about this, but it seems like MMT is getting enough cultural / political purchase that it could end up having a big impact.
Either a big positive impact or a big negative impact, depending on how sensible it is.

FWIW, some MMT economists think those questions are strawmen. I don't know enough to comment on whether I agree.
