Dataloader is a super simple idea + library; I doubt it needs any updating. Edit: great video on it by creator: https://youtu.be/OQTnXNCDywA
It's a pretty reliable indicador of disuse.
FWIW, the Guild (the group behind a lot of the more popular GraphQL libraries) has recently take stewardship of this package, and it looks like there are already a few recent PRs merged into the repo.

Lack of updates also isn't necessarily an indicator of disuse. It currently has close to 5 million weekly downlaods, roughly 1/5th of express which is probably the most popular library for building APIs in node.

Does it need more work? I'm genuinely asking, I've not used it
