I doubt that kindlegen will be receiving further updates. They might release a 64-bit build of the current version for Mac since that is already present in the Kindle Previewer.

Books converted to master MOBI using kindlegen will be accepted by Amazon for the foreseeable future, but that Amazon will be adding new e-book features over time that are incompatible with that format. To make use of those features publishers will need to submit a DOCX, EPUB or KPF file instead.

Creating a master MOBI to sideload to devices for testing will become increasingly less common. Publishers will need to use the Kindle Previewer to see how their books will appear.
