Maybe if you're talking about the facial designs. The outfits, on the other hand, is a different story.
1. Mew Pudding. Making her outfit similar to Mint's doesn't work when you consider that she's the acrobatic, tomboyish member of the team.
2. Mew Lettuce. While I can understand her updated look being more modest given how the show's target audience will likely be little girls, I'm not sure if it works as effectively as the showgirl leotard outfit from the original series when it comes to

The outfit is fair game to me, because 4 of 5 are good.
Ichigo and Mint got fixes that necessary in case they do more action.
Retatsu and Zakuro got some semblance to starting trio which is good to identify they're a team; no issue with Retatsu transformation as her skirt already give the idea.
I agree that Hu Ling is the real problem. She's the athletic girl of the group and making her got same outfit with Mint felt like a miss.
However if they're on same picture I can see they're drawing idea from modern tokusatsu, particularly the one where the main group is trio.
Something like Power Ranger Dino Thunder / Abaranger that the trio is standardized while the other two are "additional members", Black and White respectively, which in this case is Retatsu and Zakuro.

You better see the new transformed design then.
Ichigo not using OG mini skirt is a blessing for animator if they wanted her to do more movements.
Mint also similar, her OG skirt is a big no for possible leg movement if they do increase the action compare to OG.
In manga and 2002 anime, they can get pass because part with significant movements shared between Hu Ling, Retatsu and Zakuro.
So if Mint and Ichigo join the fray in this new direction, some changes have to be done. Simpler faces and more facilitating outfit is a plus.
