[Official] Dio is no longer being maintained.
With no release in the last 6 months, piling up of issues and launch of a new fork (diox), I felt something was going on with dio. Sadly, today I came across an official announcement (updated on the project repo 2 days back):

Dio caching experience
You might want to think twice about dio....we evaluated dio on a recent project and decided to avoid it after running into a blocker when setting a custom timeout (this bug: https://github.com/flutterchina/dio/issues/1454)

Thoughts on creating a library with Dart for browser and node
I also had some troubles choosing which Dart HTTP client to use. I've started with dio, but when I tried to read one of our bigger JSON responses (~1.5mb) my browser tab froze (there seems to be an old issue describing the same behavior). After that I've switched to the default dart's http package and it is working fine but it doesn't have builtin requests abort/cancellation.

Your point of supply-chain risks is definitely valid, but given that some well-known devs contribute to diox and that they are pretty transparent on what they are doing ( https://github.com/cfug/diox/issues/29 ) IMO it still can be justified in this case.

There's a fork that's actively maintained though https://github.com/cfug/diox
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dio and diox you can also consider the following projects:
sentry-dart - Sentry SDK for Dart and Flutter
http_pagination - Parses a link header (web links) and returns pagination data
getx - Open screens/snackbars/dialogs/bottomSheets without context, manage states and inject dependencies easily with Get.
http-mock-adapter - A simple to use mocking package for Dio intended to be used in tests.
esc_pos_printer - ESC/POS (thermal, receipt) printing for Flutter & Dart
base_uri - A tiny wrapper around Uri to easily define a base uri. Supports api versions.
