What caused those problems? Are they using a non-standard derivation path for Ethereum?
Yes, non standard. Just like Ledger.Quote
Couldn't you import the original Coinomi seed phrase into an Ethereum wallet instead of looking for a specific private key that corresponds to your Ethereum address?
You can't. It is in a different derivation path.
If you just import into metamask or myethereumwallet you will see another addresses, no matter how many you generate
There is plenty documentation about it in coinomi website
Another one

I recently had a problem to recover some ethereum (from a friend's wallet in coinomi)
You have to use Ian Coleman tool and select client coinomi.

Coin specific notes:
For Ethereum-based coins (ETH, ETC, EXP, CLO, MUSIC, MIX, POA) specifically, select the "BIP32" option on the "Derivation Path" section and choose "Coinomi" as the client.

He's dead Jim, you get his wallet I'll get his phaser.
I guess the question for a lot of people like me who just have some dust sitting in it is do you move everything or just each coin as they die.
For probably $40 in ETH I'll move it. But if / when LTC dies is it worth it for $5? I don't need a mobile LTC wallet it was just handy, my last TX was....Sept of 2022....

And ETH along with it's associated tokens has not been working on Coinomi for a few days now.
So I guess I (and others) now have to really start moving away from here.
It's a shame, it was fairly good while it lasted.

Once again I use coinomi but the value of the coins there is worth less then the phone they are on so it's an acceptable risk for me at the moment.
For higher amounts, I still like keeping a BIP38 encrypted (cold) paper wallet in my (physical) wallet. I have a backup, nobody can decrypt it if I lose it, but if I ever need it, I'll be glad I have some. Once again I use coinomi but the value of the coins there is worth less then the phone they are on so it's an acceptable risk for me at the moment.
Yeah, that is my situation as well.
And if I do need to receive some different coins, it still works most of the time (except for XMR which I am using Moneruju for now)
True but if you don't mind having your seed in more then one place (which is bad) can import your seed into an XMR wallet with no issues.
Actually, you can't.
You need to put your bip39 seed in coinomi bip 39, and then you will get the xmr seed
https://coinomi.github.io/tools/bip39/
So you need to use this XMR seed. You can't import the bip39 seed into moneruju or cake wallet.
OK, that's on me for not being clear.
BUT I was going with the *assumption* that if you put your seed in X to get seed Y that someone can run it backwards and if you put seed Y into something you get seed X
I could be 100% wrong on that but I can't see it not working.
But either way we are still just talking about XMR, as other coins have stopped working you are still going to have to move them someplace else. So wither you export the keys one at a time and import them into another wallet OR you move your seed.
Would be better just to move what you can by just sending the coins that still work with a normal transaction and then getting out the other ones however you like and just assuming all seeds / addresses are compromised.

And since they do use standard derivations and we do have the iancolman tool it's not like people are loosing access to their coins. It's just a pain to get to them sometimes.

I found out that iancoleman.io tool removed monero from the supported coins.
However, coinomi has its own bip39 tool with monero support. I linked it above.

I was responding to the comment about there not being a lot of complaints about them.
There have been so many wallets that just faded away leaving people trying to figure out how to get their coins because they did something that was so non-standard as to make it just about impossible to get your coins.
Makes you wonder if we will ever know what happened to coinomi and why.

There have been responses from the support team over the past year. It is funny that the support team works without an update from the technical team. https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000009675-how-much-do-i-have-to-pay-to-use-coinomi-how-do-i-set-fees-
I haven't read many articles, but some of the advice in the above article needs updating.

The article hasn't been updated for a long time, and it's around the same time they started being inactive on their other social media accounts.
I think someone here asked about them not a very long time ago, and I tried to reach out to the support through Telegram IIRC, but there wasn't so much help. It does look abandoned but I'm surprised there are not many complaints about them online.
Probably because for the 'basic' popular coins it does work.
BTC - LTC - ETH - Doge - any many others are still working.
Others like XMR have been dead for a while.
With no discussion or support how many NEW users are they getting.
And as old users slowly stop using it, and people here telling people not to use it even fewer new users will come onboard.
So IMO it's just going to slowly fade away.

Why does this wallet continue to add and use Monero even though they know there is a synchronization problem for more than a year?
If it's abandoned, there may be nobody left to remove Monero.I haven't read many articles, but some of the advice in the above article needs updating.
Terrible experience, stay away from coinomi. (Great software, but abandoned)
Next time ask before using anything, especially old outdated closed source wallets 
Many people here could tell you that about Coinimoi, and there are several alternatives you could use, Stack wallet is one of them for privacy multicoins, or you could just use monero-only wallets.
Maybe even Bisq exchange can work like a wallet, it supports Bitcoin, monero and few other coins.
This is one is last alternative I found for desktop (no xmr), but consider it experimental wallet only!

I would say that there is no alternative to Coinomi wallet so far.
All those suggested wallets have problems, like bad bitcoin implementation (no coim control), lack of important coins such as xmr, etc...
I didn't download it now, I have in my phone since 2017.
I had to receive some XMR and it was the most handy alternative ...
Edit:
I won't use Unstoppable again, no coin control is a deal breaker to me.
I will take a look at cake wallet
Why does this wallet continue to add and use Monero even though they know there is a synchronization problem for more than a year?
If it's abandoned, there may be nobody left to remove Monero. Yesterday I had to receive some payment using XMR, and then I discovered Coinomi is supporting it (it generates addresses) but it doesnt sync and doesnt send coins. Terrible!
There is an easier solution, which is to use Cake wallet.

I now use Feather for Monero (dust), a hot wallet on my desktop.
It works good, it looks very similar like Electrum wallet, and I think it supports hardware wallets (for people who need that). Jump to:
