I also tought that, long before Google shipped some new GWT applications in 2017.
I think that GWT is still in big use, but it's probably not trendy, that's why you probably won't see much talk about it.
I think that transpired ANY Language is actually the future of most web applications. yes there will still be a lot of javascript users, but I guess other languages will soon have ways to build web application with a shared code base.
And actually I think there is a benefit in doing so, well sharing everything is maybe not the best idea, even GWT made integration with JavaScript stuff better in the last releases. But Models and Utilities are a big win if they can be shared.
Actually in my company we use a lot of Scala, and it would be really cool to share the models, but sadly it's really hard to get a good toolchain (ScalaJS works, but integration in our "legacy" tooling sucks). that's why we still duplicate a lot of code in typescript, besides the fact that most models are just 1:1.
