from what I can gather based on chatting with some recent capstone grads and what they are able to share with me, the outcomes seem to have shifted to be more bimodal. people are still getting jobs out of capstone, some very quickly (within 1 or 2 months), some very lucrative ($1

Yeah Launch School is the only place I recommend right now because they are transparent about the market, Chris tries to adjust things that he thinks the market needs, then iterates on those things based on how they work or don't work. It's a tough market so marketing a vision doesn't work without the on the ground actions to back it up.
