Yes :
Newsgroups: alt.free.newsservers,news.admin.peering
Subject: Re: Admins of borked Usenet providers have vanished.

..On the other hand there is

..I'm more inclined to believe the sickness version because the owner of
aioe did post on usenet. I've seen post of his at least on
news.admin.net-abuse.usenet .So if it were a server issue , he would have
said something. And of course a server issue would have been fixed by now.

Some of the latter:

fltk.org (port 1024)
news.digitalmars.com
news.povray.org
news.tin.org
nntp.lore.kernel.org
news.php.net
news.dbase.com
nntp.perl.org
lugnet.com

For Usenet news servers it's hard to tell what are deliberate
omissions from your list, but some fairly obvious ones:

news.mixmin.net
news.netfront.net
http://open-news-network.org/node/5

Neat! I had no idea anyone was still running the 'original' reference
implementation.

Looks like some development has continued, at least within the FreeBSD
community, even has IPv6 support:
