I didn't quite get this post. "HTH" ? What does that stand for?

I think your MIL is gonna be a pain in your petunia no matter what you do, if you choose healthy. I would go so limited contact that you only speak to her to say "Hello, MIL", "Thanks for spending time with your grandkids", and "I can't talk about that".

Can you have pre-arranged visits with her and the kids? Like every first Saturday of the month or something?

Do you know if there's a time to call when she won't be able to answer the phone? Leave a message that says "I got your voicemail. The kids will be there, as usual, of the first Saturday of the month."

Other than those type of calls, no contact. She's over the top as an enabler.
