The synthesis

The papers support secondary gas production in several debris discs, but do not establish a single origin for all systems, especially those with unusually large CO reservoirs.

A point of consensus, with its source

CO observations alone are insufficient to settle the origin of CO-rich debris-disc gas; carbon measurements and constraints on H2 provide more discriminating tests.

Its source Our work demonstrates that the combination of C and CO data is a powerful tool to advance our understanding of debris disk gas. — Primordial or Secondary? Testing Models of Debris Disk Gas with ALMA*
A disagreement between the papers

The papers offer competing explanations for the CO-rich debris-disc population: long-lived primordial remnants versus shielded gas produced by planetesimals.
