haven't heard of tree splitter before but it doesn't look like it has a
java API.

which would mean its unlikely that it is used by a plugin.

I've been wondering about TreeSitter and NB lately (in general, but
specifically about python support going forward). I just read this in
vim dev mailing list, it's at
https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/9087#issuecomment-974337876 and I'm
copying it here.
Is there, or has there been, any work on using TreeSitter from a plugin?

As someone who has spent months writing and maintaining TextMate and
tree-sitter grammars for real-world languages, let me tell you that
the TextMate grammar system is totally broken, at least from a 2021
perspective. TextMate grammars are a nightmare to maintain and
/impossible/ to get right. Out of desperation, I even developed my own
macro system (just like the authors of TypeScript's TextMate grammar),
and it was still a nightmare.
tree-sitter is in a completely different league. It's a top-notch
incremental parser that can be used for accurate (!) syntax
highlighting, code folding, code formatting, etc. tree-sitter grammars
are dramatically easier to write and maintain, and it's actually
possible to get them right. GitHub has been using tree-sitter for a
while, and VSCode is also starting to use it (see
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-anycode).
Betting on TextMate grammars in 2021 would be an engineering crime.
