How bad it is depends on where you live, but yeah, for a lot of reasons most of the world probably shouldn't have outdoor housecats. As the article you linked pointed out though, most of the damage is being done by feral cats, and well... that cat's out of the bag, so to speak.

then we should set out a bunch of coyotes,
to keep the feral cat population in check.

what could possibly go wrong?

"So, we set coyotes loose to catch the cats. Then what? We get a wolf to eat the coyotes? Then we get a tiger to eat the wolf!? WHAT EATS THE TIGER, DAD - TELL ME THAT!"

I mean you are partially right. Bringing back wolves would help in NA. They are supposed to be a part of the ecosystem and might help keep coyotes in check to a degree at least and would certainly keep killer deer population is n check. They were eliminated more out of fear than legitimate threat and killer deer have now far exceeded human threat compared to wolves.
