Yes, they're clones. Hickman uses the word "copy" several times. This isn't mind transfer; it's copy and paste. Or, if you like, back-up and replace. See also the section on one of the text pages surrounding the possibility and risks of duplication. That is most certainly a "Chekhov's gun" waiting to go off--there's going to be a story about duplication at some point.
Hickman's not an idiot. He knew full well the controversy and existential arguments--is a perfect copy of you, memories and all, still you?--this would inevitably provoke, so it's certain this was intentional and will be part of the larger story going forward.
Yes, both Xavier and Storm are acting like creepy, nativist cult leaders. That's quite deliberate, too, and will certainly be part of the story going forward. Hickman has mentioned a "fall" coming up, and I expect this cult-ish aspect will play a key role.
Hickman is reinventing the X-Men as a futurist sci-fi action franchise. Morrison stepped in this direction 18 years ago but retained the traditional superhero elements. For the time being, Hickman is moving away from that. We'll see with Dawn of X if the superhero aspect gets folded back in or not.
For now, I'm interested to see where Hickman takes things. (However, if things degenerate into Extinction era rehash, I'm gone.) YMMV.

So how is Xavier doing the memory/soul transplanting process on mutants that died before he started wearing this Cerebro helmet? He shouldn't/wouldnt be able to have a copy of them to complete the process
I was getting some Force Warriors vibes from The Five. It's a fascinating combination of their powers.
It's kind of a trip to realize that Goldballs has just been shooting mutant ovum at folks all this time.
And I guess they weren't kidding when they said that Omega level mutants are Krakoa's greatest resource, they're using 3 of them for this rebirthing factory.
Also I love how T'challa is all "say no to drugs".
Husk still hasn't done anything. It's hilarious, but then I started to wonder if this was a hint as to why she was included.

Moira first told him everything in Year X0 right? So maybe Cerebro has always been making copies of mutant minds since it was built...

What a perfectly placed tail, Kurt.
