WorkOS

Aqueduct: This framework is no longer being supported by the original owners and will not be ported to null-safety for the foreseeable future. The library is so monolithic that it's a gargantuan task to maintain it, not to mention the growing dependency issues.
The only remaining major server-side framework is Jaguar. Though the maintainer has stated that they will continue to maintain the project, there had been a five-month gap between the last two commits (there was, however, a null-safety commit yesterday).
For example, Drogon is said to be the fastest http server: https://github.com/an-tao/drogon.
I've cared about this space for a while: https://github.com/dart-lang/shelf/commit/8fd1b3f1ac920cdf67a34364ef8593e4a46af1c3 :-)
Another huge hole in Dart is the lack of native AOP capabilities. I was a heavy AspectJ user back in the day, so much so that I couldn't imagine doing OOP without AOP. I did see AspectD (https://github.com/XianyuTech/aspectd), but it's third party, not part of Dart natively.
