YW, LFE seems to be as strong as it was 6 months ago. There is support and maintenance releases, the last release was Jan 14, and I think another release is coming soon.
I don't track this as closely as I am very involved in developing another project, but I know there are people who still use LFE regularly after owning it for a year.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee that they do honor, so if you really want to get a feel for what it can and can't do today, trying it out is probably your best bet.
Hope that helps.
