Can it get freshened?

It can't be updated easily given Ubuntu's policy for stable release updates.

At the same time I know that youtube-dl upstream is updated frequently, and that it's a pain to try use anything but the latest upstream. IMO there are reasons to question why it's present in the Debian/Ubuntu archives at all.

There are two much better options:

1. Install it as a snap (the latest/edge channel).

2. Install it from upstream:
