It looks libGDX is indeed stayin' alive, with a new release 1.13.5 and a Liftoff version to accompany it! This release includes a wide variety of updates to various optional dependencies, such as defaulting to the latest Kotlin, Scala, and Groovy when requested. A small tweak to how the most recent dependency version is determined for third-party dependencies should make the most recent version get picked up now at least most of the time.
TeaVM is also up-to-date, with the newest release able to target WebAssembly instead of JavaScript if you just uncomment one line in the generated TeaVMBuilder file. For projects that make heavy use of long math, and probably various other bottlenecks with JS, WebAssembly can perform considerably better than either GWT or TeaVM targeting JS. The WebAssembly target is in an early stage, but developing with it early and testing often can help it get even better -- if you find bugs with TeaVM specifically, the TeaVM repo is where to report them!
