I have a ~10,000 library of album art-embedded MP3s, but unfortunately my music player cannot detect the album art because it is in progressive format. All other metadata are properly detected.
Does MP3Tag have a batch edit for changing album art from progressive to baseline type?

No.
you would have to export the embedded pictures to the file system,
convert them with a suitable program.
re-import them into the audio files
The picture files can be exported and imported by MP3tag with an action (sort of batch process).

Thats pretty unfortunate in my case with ~10,000 songs.
Regarding the export and re-import steps, could you share the way how to do it using action?

Then, click on the button [New] New and give your action group an expressive name, e.g., "All tag fields Upper Case". This action group can be applied to the selected files after you have added one or more actions to it. Now, you can create a new action in your action group via the button [New] New and choose the desired action type from the list. At the moment the following action types …

Use an action of the type "Export cover to file" to export.
Enter a useful format string like
Format String: `%album%_%title%_%cover_type%`
Execute the action.
Do the conversion.

Execute the action.
This should be it.
