Given that there is already an existing issue within the generation of Hyrax for this Gem (please see https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/blob/master/lib/generators/hyrax/install_generator.rb#L152 and https://github.com/rweng/jquery-datatables-rails/issues/225), perhaps shifting the integration of Datatables to Webpack (using https://datatables.net/download/npm, https://webpack.js.org/configuration/externals/, and https://github.com/rails/webpacker) could be explored in order to deprecate this Gem dependency. Please see https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues/3919 for a bit more context.
