I was about to learn rkt, but seems this repo & rkt in general is not thriving. Since the RedHat merger there hasn't been too much action in the repo, docs are outdated, hard to find any active deployments / case studies, etc.
Though I feel rkt has an technological edge, seems docker has 99.99% of the mindshare.
What is rkt's future please? I'm not sure if investing time into learning running rkt is worth it.

rkt became a community project within CNCF incubator circa one year ago, so its current or future status is not directly impacted by the coreos/redhat acquisition.
If you spot any missing/wrong/outdated docs, feel free to report or (even better) send a PR for the specific details.
Nowadays the project is not seeing much activity, but it's still consumed by a lot of other projects (most of which we don't even know). I don't have any specific feedback about the future, and I'm quite bad at predicting it :)
@tomByrer FYI in case you missed it... 1.30 is now released (#3921)
I'm closing this ticket, as the original question got answered. If anybody wants to have any similar further discussion, the relevant place for that is the rkt-dev mailing list.
