My $0.02 is that "classic" Usenet spam has practically vanished (for
the...five? public NNTP groups I read, three of which are moderated).
I tried using NoCeM for a bit but the overhead of running it was just
insane, even given a news server pretty close to me on the network.
Setting gnus-spam-autodetect to scan NNTP groups too seems to give
pretty good results at a much lower performance overhead.
If you were trying to read "most" of Usenet using Gnus, it might still
be useful to you. But that's an awful lot of traffic. Personally, I
wouldn't miss nocem if it vanished, and I could see it wanting to
vanish if the code maintenance issues are starting to stack up.
