The moon is a very very very large dead rock. No amount of mining by humans will effect its mass, orbit or effect on tides by any measurable amount. We would literally have to mine more each day than has been mined by all of human history and then do it for thousands of years for there to be even the tiniest measurable impact on earth's ecosystems.

There are actual economic and environmental concerns with moon mining (e.g. launch/recover pollution, high costs, etc). But the sorts of concerns you linked to are not them.
