Modernizing of static libraries doesn't solve their main problem. They still contain compiled binary code, which is used by linker mostly as is. It maybe was fine 40 years ago, but nowadays this limitation leads to result binaries with suboptimal performance. Something better should be used instead, like compiler-dependent libraries containing intermediate code, which may be further composed and optimized, like it happens with LTO for non-static-library code.
