I have personal experience with both real memories of trauma and false memories of trauma. It can be difficult to tell the difference and both absolutely happen. The research into false memories done by Elizabeth Loftus is solid. It sounds like the so called researchers cited by the OP just have an agenda and aren't interested in truth.

The research by Elizabeth Loftus is shady a.f. She did a small study on a tiny number of children, and that is the ONLY research the False Memory Foundation ever uses. Over and over, people will cite this OnE poorly conducted study by E. Loftus to say abuse memories are false. So many children have been hurt by this. I've often wondered about Loftus' motives.

AND, the single Loftus study they always cite is decades old, on top of it being a tiny study with just a small number of kids
