V is progressing well, but in beta. It has to maintain its momentum and focus, without getting derailed, and deliver a polished useable 1.0 release.

> ...memory safety through its “autofree” memory feature

V has different memory management options, which can be turned off and the libraries don't depend on them. GC (default and optional), autofree, arena allocator (prealloc), or manual. This is mentioned in the documentation (https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md). It has numerous safety features, as part of its design, and coupled with the GC (default) or autofree, would provide significant memory safety.
