Is Scala and Play Framework dying?
Two alternatives for service frameworks come to mind. Finatra, the tried-and-tested service framework built and maintained by Twitter. Alternatively, ZIO (and its broader ecosystem) is a rising start that fully embraces functional programming and all its incredible benefits.

Scala or Go: Who Wore It Better?
Scala became really popular with the advent of "Big Data" because functional programming lends itself so naturally to analytics, and the learning curve for modern LISPs like Haskell and Clojure is too high for too many. Apache Spark is built in Scala, and when it got big, Scala got big. Since then Scala has also become a popular language for other domains including reactive web applications and microservices with Play Framework and Akk and even the front end with Scala.js.

Any devs that transitioned from node to spring?
Is there a specific reason why you're learning Spring? Because it's probably the biggest Java-based enterprise framework you can find. That of course has its benefits in the job market, but it isn't really the best choice to get your feet wet in Java backend development. If your primary goal is to start developing REST APIs or web applications in Java/Scala, then I would suggest the Play Framework. It's more lightweight and in design more closely related to other web frameworks.

What is the state of frameworks and libraries support to build microservices in scala?
While not a dedicated microservices framework you can definitely build microservices on top of Akka (https://www.scnsoft.com/blog/akka-actors-for-microservices) you optionally could use Play (https://www.playframework.com/) as well (its also built on top of Akka) for aspects like the web API
