I am still using XSLT. I have been using it for 26 years. I generate XML documents on the backend and turn them into HTML for various reports. XSLT has a lot of features and power that newer templating languages lack.

Are any of these newer templating languages worth me switching?

Yes, because XSLT won't work in Chrome and Edge anymore.

Their comment isn’t clear if they’re doing the transform on the server before piping it down as HTML, which some implementations have done over the years as it provided access to newer XSLT features that browsers stagnated on.

You can still run JS or WebAssembly based XSLT transformer

A great way to convince you you've always been wrong:

Step 1: Gain browser monopoly

Step 2: Generate fake security scare

Step 3: Gaslight everyone that only way to mitigate is to get rid of it completely like Flash.

Step 3a (corollary): There isn't anyone available that can fix the bugs because we spent all resources on UI/UX experimentation

Thank you for reminding me that we don't have Flash anymore. I'm counting blessings I forgot I had.
