I think its okay for library to not get any updates if the protocol (multipart, like in the case of form-data) is stable.
Do all libraries have to release new versions just for appearance sake?
Axios has many issues listed github.com/axios/axios/issues?q=is...
but no bugs (mostly feature requests and questions about edge cases)
and seems very safe / stable to use.
I can understand your strife to reduce dependencies, but that are the alternatives ? Write http data fetching libraries yourself
or suffer poor DX because of raw XMLHttpRequest / fetch.

I have looked a bit more at http client libraries

Here seems to be a good comparison

Following your main grip against axios -> ky seems to be the next best choice for http clients in the browser
github.com/sindresorhus/ky
With a bundle size of only 9.12 kB -> 3.23 kB gzip
https://bundlejs.com/?q=ky%401.1.0&treeshake=%5B*%5D
thanks. Would check the links out
