I guess those in the range 50-70 and below should be considered for replacement?

yes, and additionally stuff like

forks: @keeex/qrcodejs-kx
no vue3/nuxt3 support: buefy, nuxt-buefy, vue-clipboard2
packages that offer same functionality: luxon vs date-fns

Interesting, good to refer to #1327

forks: @keeex/qrcodejs-kx

Let's use active upstream https://github.com/davidshimjs/qrcodejs

no vue3/nuxt3 support: buefy, nuxt-buefy, vue-clipboard2

So we are stuck at vue2.x due this tho?

packages that offer same functionality: luxon vs date-fns

If not used, remove it?

Let's make actionable steps from that or issue! Best DM me so I'll know and hang there $,$$ labels! :)
