I haven't seen any of this new Trek content on CBS's streaming platform, but I watched RedLetterMedia's video from the other day where Mike and Rich talk about those "Short Treks" they saw and I laughed so fucking hard.
The repeated gag in that video about it all being like a chinese rocket launch had me dying every time they did it. Just the way those two have talked about Discovery + how the show has seemed from the small glimpses I've had make it seem like it's definitely "not for me".

their video on what they want out of the Picard series - a 'creative vision' which, amongst other things, included fridging Dr Crusher - convinced me that they have absolutely no idea how to assess the quality of Star Trek anything, honestly. tho I was already pretty much done with them after they started complaining about the diversity in the new Star Wars movies.
in any case, as for the Short Treks, I liked the first one - though it's heavily reliant on you already having an attachment to one character from Discovery proper - thought the second was an excellent little self-contained story, had misgivings about the third - it really needed a longer running time, at the very least - and still haven't seen the fourth.
A Place Further than the Universe but Star Trek would be absolutely fucking incredible. As would Yuru Camp but Star Trek.

Eh, I don't have any hard investment in either the RLM guys or Star Trek as a media property in 2019, I just happened to watch the video and find their responses to the content funny. Though I think Mike's taste in Star Trek is kind of similar to my own, though I'm not a huge Trekkie or anything.
Really, Star Trek, like most long-worn cultural franchises from a different time period, should be taken out back and let go of.
I generally enjoyed Mudd, so I'm game. Reason I haven't seen it yet is that they're technically not officially available here, so watching them is a huge pain in the arse.
Can't say I agree, honestly. I've always loved Trek, and I think it's still got plenty of life in it, even if certain foundational elements of the franchise do tend to read rather differently this far removed from their original context. Star Trek is, I think, ultimately a very adaptable framework for storytelling, when the people making it allow it to be.
Heck, the fact that The Orville has apparently turned out to be alright, when it's more or less people cosplaying TNG and adding in jokes, shows that even the old formula has plenty of juice left, let alone a proper modernization.
... I kinda hate The Orville, truth be told, and think it's an utter embarrassment to anything that's ever been good about Star Trek. And that's speaking as someone who loves TNG, the series it most specifically rips off/utterly fails to understand.
