Redux toolkit solved a lot of the pain point highlighted. You might want to refresh your practice with some modern redux ;)
I've been put off by the way the core team seems to handle their community: lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/why-im-... I can only hope it got better.

There's a lot more to elm than just the comparison to Redux. It goes way beyond UX improvements over redux.

Here's an example of how forms are a "solved problem" in elm:

In terms of the core team criticisms, Luke's blog post has merit (there is definitely room for improvement), but he's also part of the vocal minority, and most people are actually quite happy of how Elm is progressing (myself included).

You'll also notice on the elm discourse server (discourse.elm-lang.org/) that Evan is quite active and contributes to conversations all of the time.
