I can agree with that as there have been a whole of of people leaving and new people coming in the last 5 years so the Retro of today may not be the same Retro of 2014 outside of the name and I'm not denying that the studio may be a mess nowadays.
However it's not really 5 years of silence, DKC Returns & Tropical Freeze were both announced at E3 and released 5-8 months afterwards. Since the studio has had a ~3 year cycle in between games than the earliest we would have realistically heard from them was E3 2016 with a late 2016 or early 2017 release. So it's more like 2.5 years of silence from them as the first 2.5 years of that wouldnt have had any news regardless.
There are also rumors that they are developing Star Fox Grand Prix with a 2019 release so basically it sounds like they were developing a game that was meant for 2016/2017 that had issues and got scrapped then they started SFGP afterwards.

If SFGP is real and does arrive this year and is amazing I'll happily eat my words, all I'm saying is it's hard to feel confident in them under the circumstances. Heck, if you'd told me in 2014 that Retro would be handling Prime 4 I'd be Like shit yeah, I have complete faith this is gonna be a masterpiece, but so many long years tends to erode one's faith in a studio's capabilities.

I dont blame you at all for not being confident based on the last few years, I'm definitely going to take a wait and see approach with this, I just didnt agree with your argument about the period of 1998-2000.
