Yeah, Komi debate is still alive. But... with AlphaGo / KataGo available today to perform automated analysis of Komi, I'm thinking that the debate will finally end with 6.5.
Though maybe I'm just being optimistic with regards to the debate. IIRC, engines like LeelaZero / Katago has the following result: 5.5 favors 1st player, and 7.5 favors 2nd player. And 6.5 is just right.

Komi has trended upwards because it originally was zero, which was obviously wrong.
Note: Chinese rules changes Komi calculations. 6.5 Komi Japanese is IIRC equivalent to 7.5 Komi Chinese.
