All this is predictable and normally the lot of innovative astronomy, even in an era where all things are affirmed by time lapse and other observations but despite the lack of kindness, it all eventually makes it into circulation.

"How many men attacked my Letters on Sunspots, and under
what disguises! The material contained therein ought to have
opened to the minds eye much room for admirable speculation;
instead it met with scorn and derision. Many people disbelieved
it or failed to appreciate it. Others, not wanting to
agree with my ideas, advanced ridiculous and impossible opinions
against me; and some, overwhelmed and convinced by
my arguments, attempted to rob me of that glory which was
mine, pretending not to have seen my writings and trying to
represent themselves as the original discoverers of these impressive
marvels" Galileo

My contribution is done on this matter so the images of the exoplanet as it passes behind the Sun will in future be complimented by a planetary transit as it completes its loop of its parent star much like Venus and Mercury are seen to do. The only additional difference is the special case where the Earth's motions are inclusive of the faster moving planets whereby the background stars transition from left to right of the Sun in order to set the Sun up as a stationary and central reference.
