It's not Ezoic. I have had one site on mediavine and one on ezoic get raped by this update.
From my understanding there is absolutely 0 correlation between any variables and why sites got hit - people are "experts" but unless they got hit and recovered (which they didn't), how can you trust them?
My sites are like yours, not thin, not spam and original/well written, but 2/3 got hit for seemingly no reason.
Personally I am still waiting to see if anything happens - especially as I am having huge indexing issues right now.
I made a thread about it but so far I had exactly the same experience as you for when and how my traffic got hit.
Indexing issues on the sites I own:
Site 1 - didn't get hit - Unaffected
Site 2 - got hit - no indexing since 19th~ and some pages are now unindexed/uncrawled
Site 3 - got hit - no indexing since 19th~ and some pages are now unindexed/uncrawled
Site 4 - around 4 months old - only 10% of articles indexed by google
Site 5 - 1 month old - 0 articles indexed
Everything is submitted with a sitemap in GSC and I have also tried to manually submit URL's - this doesn't seem to work either.
This is why I would avoid doing any drastic changes on your site right now. Until google is working properly, or at least semi-efficiently, we can't know what is going on. Even if you change something, it won't be noticed right now and has been like this for 20~ days.
