I don't like them; they're literally designed for me not to like them. I don't like rebellious characters who're rude. I just don't. I read Graystripe's Vow before I read TBC, and reading the first few chapters made me think that I didn't want to read TBC. Plumstone (I typed Plumwillow jeez how relevant she is) and whatever (Thriftear?) were fighting pettily about prey and when Graystripe tries to help them as they actually requested ("Graystripe, Blahblah said..."), although I know I wouldn't like elders talking about "When I was a young lad...", they're saying his time is over, and he should stay put in the elders' den and let THEM take charge. Then they resolve their problem.
The others also say they shouldn't believe in StarClan anymore, since they don't live in the place they lived in. Leafpool had died uh... "recently" (I don't remember if cats like Stemleaf can go to StarClan or they'll drift around like ghosts at the timeline of GV). Leafpool wasn't ancient. She knew how the newer generations lived. StarClan isn't ancient ancestors who lived hundreds of years ago; there's more of them.
Anyway, I didn't like how the newer cats behaved. They were bland at that. They're pretty downgraded to rebellious younger cats.

GV takes place in the middle of TBC btw and Starclan isn't known to be back yet, so that should probably answer your question on if they're in Starclan or not.

I really hated how they characterized the younger cats in TC here. Especially Flipclw and Thornclaw. He has a right to want to wrap his mind around what was going on and whether he believed in StarClan or not especially given the events of TBC. But no, the narrative swirled any kind of independent mindset into "Oh! They're just being rebellious and mean!!" This especially dug under my skin with how they wrote Thornclaw's nepotism argument.
