Is it true that many historians now describe the end of the Western Roman Empire as a gradual transformation rather than a sudden collapse?

Yes. One reference source states that, observing cultural and archaeological continuities beyond the loss of political control, the end of the Western Roman Empire has been described as a complex cultural transformation rather than a fall. A forum answer adds that the fall of the West was not an immediate event, though it does not speak to historians' descriptions.
