DOSBox-X intends to support FreeDOS well. For example, DOSBox-X includes an
increasing number of DOS commands from FreeDOS, such as APPEND, CHKDSK, COMP,
DEBUG, DEFRAG, DISKCOPY, FC, FDISK, FORMAT, MEM, MOVE, SORT, SYS, PRINT, XCOPY,
and more as of the latest version. They are well-supported in DOSBox-X's
internal DOS shell, or you can boot FreeDOS from a guest system. DOSBox-X also
provides official DOS builds which will run in FreeDOS.
More importantly, DOSBox-X not only intends to run existing DOS programs, but
also want to support new DOS software by encouraging continued DOS developments
including the FreeDOS project. You can see the official "DOSBox-X and Continued
DOS Development Efforts" page from:

DOS is of course never dead despite some rumors.
