Less than two months have passed since MEA launch, folks, patience 😇

Yes, but ME3 wasn't put on Hiatus.
Unfortunately, this to me reads exactly like it sounds.. there will be no DLC for this game. They're going to keep a small team to deliver the fixes they promised and then they're going to give up and abandon it. In fact, this sounds much worse to me, because while the Mass Effect series isn't 'officially' over, if one or more of their upcoming IP's takes off it could spell the end.
Overall, if you're a big fan of Mass Effect like I am, this news is pretty grim. Honestly, I put a lot of the blame on game review sites who did unfair hatchet jobs on this game based on the 10 hour (or less) trial review. The game does struggle in the early hours and they based their entire reviews on that.
I do have to say though, I'm disappointed in EA for just giving up. I was hoping they would put some effort into bolstering the game with DLC content and trying to strengthen support for Andromeda, but honestly.. it sounds like they just gave up instead.
@DarthLlama considering the quality of ME:A i dont think you have to worry too much about any upcoming ip's taking off...
