On the other hand it hasn't had checkins for a month which might mean
there is no churn.

Indeed. As does Cayla :-)

JSF is mature, plugin architecture ecosystem, testing, build,
deployment, etc. but would you use it?

But it is based on a language that is over 10 years old ;-)

I can deploy Django, Tornado, Flask, Vert.x, Grails, Ratpack, etc. to
Heroku: Heroku is fairly platform agnostic and is therefore not a factor
of choice.

Decision making requires comparative work. Without projects implemented
in all the frameworks, choice is based on what can only be called
prejudice. At times this can be fine: if a team knows JSF, Play, Grails,
and choose to just use it, fine. But if the question is "which is best",
or "what the comparison between" then data is required, prejudice is no
longer a valid tool.
