I have been away from the JW cult for many years. I don't have any family I talk to that are in it. So I don't know if the JWs as a whole are seeing the cult fall apart or if they or the majority of them are head in the sand la la la the end is neigh. Anyone see anything happening in your sphere of JWs?
Do JWs see the org falling apart?

Not into many discussions with JWs any longer, but the JW family members don't give any kind of indication that they think the Org is in any kind of trouble. The Ukrainian war and Middle East tensions are fueling the fire that Armageddon is "very, very soon" to take place.
They know nothing about European branches having their status as a religion at risk. Very few even seem to know anything about the CSA lawsuit awards and settlements. (Or else they know not to mention it.)

THOMASDAM21:
I have been Out for ages and luckily never had any family in the JW religion so I wonder.
But, the few active Witnesses I sometimes keep in touch with have never admitted anything like this to me anyway. Nope I never heard them suggest the religion is ‘falling apart’. If anything, they try to make it sound appealing, like I’d want to go back!🤣. I doubt Witnesses would admit this to somebody who is Out.. But, I do wonder what they say among themselves.

I agree,
One thing I hate about the jw's is the way they will never admit anything.
My family (in since the 1960's) doesn't see anything falling apart..
I was preached at the other day that 'the end is so,so close now..'
I politely pointed out that the wt have been saying exactly the same thing since at least 1879 and if they had any new scriptural evidence to show me why the end was now closer I would be more than happy to view it....
..vacant blank stares...and a quick change of subject..
Hmmm.. and they have 'the truth'!!!!

If/when the org does fall apart it will take most JWs by surprise.

I live in a country, where they were investigated for handling of CSA. Tbh I felt it was a waste of time and money for the government. It was basically a big nothing burger for what it achieved both with notifying the public about the JWs and the JWs themselves. My relatives are totally unaware of this, and even more unaware that it's collapsing.
