Are these critics valid?
Probably not. Progress in Physics is most likely a predatory publisher. Very often predatory publishers choose journal names that are similar to respected journals.

In this case “Progress in Physics” is trying to masquerade as “Reports on Progress in Physics” which is a well-known journal that is indexed and has a decent impact factor.

“Progress in Physics”, in contrast, does not even show up on the Clarivate master journal list and has not even been given an impact factor. The low response and deceptive title are indicative of predatory publishers.

The forum rules explicitly disallow Vixra as a source. It’s that unreliable (or more precisely, reliably bad).
