stylometry is only one aspect of de-anonymization. what you describe is certainly a threat that we will have to deal with, but there is a lot more to credible impersonation than just being able to mimic a writing style

LLM's are probably better at it, but I don't know if this is as destructive as people may guess it would be. Probably highly person dependent.
The micro-signals this paper discusses are more difficult to fake.
