Is there enough contact surface between the wheel axle and the frame? It’s only 4 mm. Not sure what the right terminology is.
Edit: I have a quick release skewer. I just took the photo without it.

Probably fine, I would just source a bigger axle or adjust it properly
No, there’s nothing holding the wheel onto the frame if that wheel hits a curb or pothole and receives a lateral impact
Certainly NOT fine, you’ll need a longer axle
What does the other side look like?
Jesus fuck

What’s the other side look like? They should be even.
This is fine. One of my Bikes actually came like this. You still need to add your quick release though.
I think you’re OK as long as the other side is even. Usually there’s only ~4 threads visible, so this is normal, you just have a really thick dropout. It *could* be longer and it would be nice if it were, but I don’t know that this is necessarily wrong.
Is this an older bike? It’s unusual to see disc brakes without a through axle. Front or rear wheel ?
That’s good! You are ready to roll some downhills!
