The site hasn't been updated since 2014-2015. If it's dead, is there any chance of it coming back into development?

The mirror 9pi.io has more recent patches in /sources/patch.
There is also a good selection of patches in 9legacy.org/patch.html

Current raspberry pi kernel source is on 9p.io in /sources/contrib/miller/9/bcm

So yes, there is current development but not centralised.

It's not dead; it's resting.

The whole "thing" about Plan9 was bringing back the dead so it is
thematically on point.

Why do you ask? What do you want to do?

I was just curious if it had any chances of coming back or were 9legacy and 9front the only options.

Ah. :-) But why? It is just out of idle curiosity, such
as wondering about an old friend you haven't seen in
decades or you actually wanted to use plan9?

Personally I'd recommend 9pi. Raspi + 9pi is a great
combination and there is plenty to explore, plenty of real
world things to control. There are a lot of pi "hats" that
would be fun to play with or use.
