Can I get an alert when my mod breaks for a lot of people?

Do the devs collect any statistics on mod installation and enabling/disabling?

If so, then as a mod author I would love to know if a lot of people disable my mod in a short timespan, because this would be a very strong indicator that something in the mod broke either in a recent factorio upgrade or when another mod changed.

No.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

You will get messages if your mod broke.
However to be notified (until mod portal 2.0 comes out?) I've added a line like "Bug Reports outside Forum or Github will be ignored!" with links to the respective topic and github issue page.

when my mod breaks, someone tells me via the forums.

Some people do add comments to the mod portal, but those usually go unanswered.
