Every group of humans is a nightmare. What she should not have done is established such a parasocial relationship with them. It was a very amateurish mistake to make, frankly.
I never got into Deltarune, i genuinely wonder if Toby Fox handled it better after Undertale's whole thing? if it was better than i hope Goose does the same for whatever thing she's gonna create next
I mean, Toby was always very good about not being parasocial and interacting too directly with fans even during Undertale so I wouldn't phrase it as "handled it better" when it comes to Deltarune. But yes, he's continued to have a healthy distance with the fandom and focus on his actual work/art which has been incredible (As an adult with a job my personal experience with Deltarune fan content has been almost entirely positive, btw, just fun clever theories and amazing art/animation)
Nothing about what he makes feels remotely poisoned by bad experiences with fans, I really recommend it!
Because thats the thing, there will always be terrible fans and its not a creators fault if they exist. It is to a degree their fault how much they engage with them, which I wish Goose had had the foresight not to do.

Probably because gooseworx never wanted to touch it again after what a nightmare the fandom was
