Japan has tons of problems. Im very well aware of that. Its basically a conservative one party state and lets not even talk about work culture. With that said I dont think we will see people be more critical of Japan as long as it stays "mostly" peaceful/non interventionist and as long as the Nation stays stable. (There might very well be instability in Japans future) Simply put as long as Japan doesnt cause problems for other people outside their borders most people wont care how fucked up Japan really is.
people should be more critical of japan too.
you can't even live together before marriage without being shamed.
there are "no foreigners allowed" signs at tons of businesses.
people are expected to work themselves to death.
loneliness is more of an epidemic there than anywhere else on earth.
suicide is sky high.
not enough people have kids to replace the population because life is so terrible.
the culture is extremely sexist and misogynist, similar to 1950s America.
major historical denialism about past atrocities.
it's just an extremely collectively-damaged mass psychology going on there.

I'd argue most modern countries/cultures exhibit most of these traits, and/or equivalently awful traits. It is the done thing.
