I wouldn't quite say that it's worse, since they probably would only lose 1-2 seats (if that) if Trump loses re-election, since they aren't playing defense in any dark blue states, just swing states. If Trump wins re-election, however, their luck will likely run out with these seats, and they'll probably be looking at some pretty bad losses. It's going to be a bad map for them, but it'll be easier for them to defend all or nearly all of their seats in a good year than it was for Democrats this year.
I actually believe that 2018 Democrats are worse off than 2022 Republicans since the Democrats had to defend 24 seats over the Republicans’ 9 while in 2022 the Republicans will have to defend 21 seats and the Democrats 12. The moreover that the Republicans could take seats like Nevada, New Hampshire and Colorado.
