Are there problematic things in that comparison - undoubtedly but not the ones usually claimed which take dwarves 1.0 who are 100% nordic saga dwarves and use them to make assertions of anti semitism

Dwarves post lotr get an origin story (Aule and Yavanna) and written as none morgoth supporting and not evil in conception.
In interview JRRT compared hobbit dwarves (ppl seeking a homeland) to Jews in Europe pre 1948
But they are not a metaphor or allegory - its a comparison

so dwarves - as with all things in the legendarium its as important to ask when
dwarves 1.1 - nordic - villains and bad guys (largely) as other as trolls and goblins
dwarves 2.0 The Hobbit (summarising here) Can be good, more developed, more "human"
dwarves 2.1 Thorins deathbed
Dwarves 3.0 Gimli
