Worth pointing out that tanks are on their way out in usefulness. I'd imagine a mech would suffer the same issue. Too easy to disable the crew or mech. Weapons have outpaced armor. So tanks have become slow moving targets. A mech is just a giant version of a slow moving target that is also really tall and easy to shoot at from a long distance away.

I don't think that they're so much on their way out as it is that tank warfare has certain limitations. The only way they'd ever be defunct is if ground warfare stopped being a thing entirely and, although ground warfare hasn't necessarily won wars since... well, probably before WWII, it's been somewhat necessary in securing gains.
