As crappy as it is, work is still getting done. US military SOP is if the ranking person is unavailable for the next in line to take command.

It just sucks that it is becoming a PITA to them and probably pushing out quality troops that can easily obtain other employment.

Yes and no. Yes, officers can fill in as acting whatever, so the essential work still gets done, but acting positions also tend to be conservative in how they exercise that authority. But as the article mentions, there are also people stuck waiting for their nomination to be approved so they can actually relocate and take up the job. These people are currently in limbo while Tuberville is fucking around.
