They’re very, very old.
I understand that this will take a lot of time and require some changes. But still?
For example, Hunspell can only be updated to version 1.3.4. All of the above, without changing the code, no longer works. Or I'm wrong?

Any version of hunspell 1.x.x should be able to work (unless they've broken the cardinal rule of no api-changes in minor version updates). Arch Linux, for instance builds Sigil with their system hunspell (which is at v1.7.0) without needing to patch Sigil's code.
But no, we've no plans to update the bundled libraries right now. Other things are taking priority. Especially with Linux's ability to already use their own updated system versions of the 3rd-party libraries.
