The component seems to be abadoned. Issues:

Is this because MIIO is also in a "stale" state? What next?

This module seems for all practical purposes to be currently abandoned, yes. There are a bunch of fairly recent forks but I am not sure how many of them are compatible with the current version of Homebridge (-of which I use the "HOOBS" variant, btw).

I used to use one of the many "@seikan"-plugin forks (~Air Purifier 1.4.9 published 5/23/2019~), but after recent Homebridge/HOOBS system upgrade it started failing to initialize the accessory, so I was forced to go on the hunt for a more recently updated one.

I have currently settled on the Xiaomi Purifier EU 2.0.4 published 10/18/2020 variant, which worked without hassle with the same config JSON as the old one.

Note: most these plugins register the same "accessory name", which means if you have >1 plugin variant installed at any one time, they will clash and you will not know which one Homebridge is actually using for ""accessory": "MiAirPurifier". Make sure only one variant is installed at any one time.
