The Laravel ecosystem folks seem to be always up to date in recent PHP developments. At least, that's my impression.

Drupal is very hot on attributes, has fiber support, uses readonly (a PHP 8.2 feature) extensively, enums are used -- overall it's fairly up to date.
Symfony also does a great job adding polyfills way ahead of a PHP release , eg https://github.com/symfony/polyfill-php84
Yes, and this is incredibly annoying. Many packages add them as a dependency, and then you get subtle bugs because of it. Or worse, they add a dependency for the polyfill that is related to an extension and suffer performance issues when the extensions are not installed; yet no warning is output.
