I'm working on Office Add-in projects (O365). Sample projects from GitHub, and Online documentation from Microsoft show a variety of different CDNs.
I'm not sure which one is for use with React, Fabric-UI.JS, or just simply jQuery.
To be used with React?

However, I see on GitHub that they're on 1.5.0 now. Is this technology being taken seriously by Microsoft, or have they moved on to other Javascript Library solutions?

If you are looking for the CDNs, then yes the documentation refers it to:
Since it is on NPM you could use UNPKG CDNs as well. Such as:
The reason why the documentation website has older version of Fabric is because the Fabric team is working on making it significantly better, here is the preview of the new site https://aka.ms/fabric-preview
If you are building the add-in in React, then you don't need the CDN, you can refer to the styles from the package directly and react-create-app (or custom webpack) will bundle it correctly. If your development environment uses NPM, you can do that too with office-ui-fabric-core as well.
Yes, Microsoft is significantly investing in Fabric! Almost all teams are using it.
