DARCS would not have seen significant further growth, due to the merge-of-doom problem.

It's been years since I have read about darcs. Did they fix that infinite time merge problem at some point?

Not entirely fixed by the look of things:

Darcs 2 (introduced in 2008-04) reduces the name of scenarios that will trigger an exponential merge. Repositories created with Darcs 2 should have fewer exponential merges in practice.
