Had the same question, until I've read your comment

For everyone else with the same thought:

Quick context: Neovim 0.12 (released March 29) ships built-in treesitter support, a native plugin manager, and native LSP completion. The nvim-treesitter maintainer had been rewriting the plugin to require 0.12 - and documented this clearly. Users kept demanding backward compat with 0.11. Maintainer burned out and archived it. The Hacker News thread sided overwhelmingly with the maintainer. Hard to disagree.

Not sure I'd buy that line of thought.

I've been thinking about moving away from nvim-treesitter for this. There seem to be some alternatives already, like tree-sitter-manager. Or I can probably just get it to work without any plugins.

The only thing that I'm worried about are the features provided by nvim-treesitter-textobjects. Has anyone been able to replicate those in native neovim, or even using some other plugin that's not dependent on nvim-treesitter?

Edit: There seems to be some interesting recent development.
