If something is hold on deprecated version, then there are serious reasons for that.

Termux doesn't work with target SDK level 29+, not because of some APIs but due to SELinux behavior change for this target SDK level. See linked issues in comment above.

Target SDK level won't be bumped until some reliable workaround would be implemented, e.g. termux/termux-exec#24.

And I should note that target SDK level change doesn't give any benefits except ability to submit application updates on Google Play Store. In order to take advantage of the latest Android APIs, the compile SDK level should be bumped instead.
