I haven't been tracking. Is Express 5 GA yet? Any project that stalls out like Express seemed to makes me think it's dead.
Any NodeJS web projects I run are on Express 4 and _still_ use express-async-router, helmet, and a hodgepodge of other add-ons to make it passable.
It is highly productive and useful, but I would never serve to the internet with NodeJS, much less with Express 4. Only internal apps. Scary NPM ecosystem of abandonware and resume fodder, it's not okay!
