WDC adjusts difficulty every 8 hours, so no.  If for some reason miners all leave WDC (highly doubt), then the difficulty will adjust to keep the fast transactions..  It's a pretty good design that I haven't seen in other coins..

WDC will never face the same problem for quick difficulty retarget.

TRC and FTC have different problems, I suggest you look into each before asking such a general question. When it comes to difficulty adjustments the two are extreme opposites. TRC adjusts ever 30 blocks FTC every 504 (was 2016)

well TRC maybe initially but then it went for exponential smoothing

*I* did look, in fact more than that I coded a fork for TRC just in case
