The final ruling on this case was in November 2022[1]. The April 2022 decision was overturned in August 2022. It came back up in November 2022, where it was decided that HiQ has violated the User Agreement and had to pay damaged to LinkedIn.
HiQ no longer exists, so I think the case is definitely done. It doesn't seem to have set any firm precedent about whether web scraping violates the CFAA, but considering HiQ ultimately had to pay damages, I don't think its a resounding win for web scrapers.
