I recon the general cosensus among mathematicians (as that is what counts) is that the ABC conjecture so far has _not_ been proven. Mochizuki (and his school around him) seem to be the majority of people that believe his proof is correct. As you point out, Scholze has identified a supposed flaw in Mochizuki's argument, but anyone not already at the forefront of IUT/NT/ABC conjecture is probably incapable of telling if this flaw is a true flaw or not. As Mochizuki refuses to elaborate (on this supposed flaw) consensus cannot be reached and thus the ABC conjecture remains open.
