> Oh nice it appears to be the active version now

As far as I know, none of the big classic IRC networks (IRCnet, EFnet, Undernet, OFTC) have transitioned to ircv3

I can't speak for their possible ircd transition plans but OFTC's been working on https://solanum.chat which has a wide range of IRCv3 support.

Libera (de facto successor of freenode) is already using it:

    21:43 [libera] -!- Your host is zirconium.libera.chat[46.16.175.175/6667], running version solanum-1.0-dev

Also, I'm not sure how up to date it is, but here's the list of networks that support at least some subset of IRCv3: https://ircv3.net/support/networks

However, many of them support independently some of the features that IRCv3 is merging in, such as SASL, SNI, capability negotiation, etc.
