Mirrodin should have begun collapsing once Karn lost his spark at the end of Time Spiral, since artificial planes begin dying when their planeswalker creators are no longer able to sustain them. Karn also doesn't seem to think that New Phyrexia will collapse on it's own seeing as he was busy digging up the Sylex in hopes of detonating it on New Phyrexia to try to destroy the plane or at least the control center of the Phyrexians. If the plane will collapse, why risk going back to blow it up?
I don't think Karn made Mirrodin, least not in the way the original Phyrexia or Serra's Realm was created. I think Mirrodin was created from a powerstone.
It is canon that Karn is able to "speak" to Glacian. In the Thran Glacian was able to work out that a powerstone was capable of storing a plane's worth of energy, and if you were able to unfold one you could create a pocket plane. This was actually the catalyst for Dyfed to finally reveal herself to Glacian as a planeswalker and tell him that he had a latent spark.
Flash forward to Karn gaining his spark and coalescing the consciousness of Glacian and Urza the two greatest artificers Dominaria has known, one of which has known how to unfold a powerstone for millenia and now has an outlet to do so. So Karn chose a particularly large powerstone and unpacked it into the geometrical paradise of Argentum.
The introduction of the mycosynth to Mirrodin's core kicked off the eruptions of the five suns and set Memnarch's plan of gaining a spark in motion. Interestingly enough I think the plan was actually the glistening oil seizing the chance to gain the ability to planeswalk, thus achieving Yawgmoth's oldest desire.
The specific reason artificial planes collapse as stated in Planeswalker is due to a mana imbalance given their creators' biases. If Creative wants to make a reason as to why New Phyrexia doesn't collapse they have an excellent prop in the five suns.

The Five Suns were a symptom of the plane collapsing, however they can just say the mending fixed things so that artificial planes no longer collapse since Planeswalkers aren't gods anymore.

Accorfing to the Ask The Author thread Will McDermott says that Karn actually found an empty natural plane and built Mirrodin inside of it, so the plane is natural and would not collapse.

but its because of the suns. its balanced. it won't decay.
