Has MAUI managed to actually succeed Xamarin? From what I remember from a few years ago they kind of botched the launch and it failed to even fully replace it.

Xamarin is officially in End Of Support. But Maui has definitely missed the mark. I was deep in it around net6/net7 timeframe, and net8 was supposed to be a big step forward, but they burned a lot of good will with the rollout. I saw a lot of hubris not only from the Maui side, but also from the .net ecosystem as a whole. Specifically whoever was pushing workloads. The pain points around that were huge sources of unnecessary friction, on top of the really buggy initial versions of Maui.
