You raise a good point that if youkai would be revealed today it would cause an upheaval and perhaps even a power boost as people rediscover old gods and boogeyman and increase their powers. Now I know /jp/ isn't very religious so you all tend to forget this but in the case of the discovery of youkai being revealed publicly you'd also have a massive religious movement on par with the one of the American great awakenings but much more widespread as the full extent of the horror of reality presents itself. Don't forget that people do wholeheartedly believe in their religions already and use prayer as a means to drive off fear and the monsters in the night already, the churches have exorcists, rituals to drive off demons and other nasty things, and lots and lots of believers and powerful gods even outside of the Abrahamic religions. While purely physical attacks might not work icons and faith will indeed add weight as people will use old rites, holy water and oils, along with other means to allow even their humble weapons to damage youkai.
There is a reason the barrier must be maintained beyond just avoiding conflict with the nation states of humanity and its because there are very large organizations called the church that helped drive them out in the first place and would unceasingly hound them should they find their location.
