In a situation like this, data matters.
I think you would find that the two links at the bottom of that page get about zero clicks. Who has time to scroll through the wall of text that is the front page vs what is likely the two most clicked links (documentation, download)?
+1 on updating because that is correct
-1 on removing as it would remove a contact point
+1 on having a subsection in the Community section that lists all social accounts

The 2nd sentence, that was clipped from the above said "I'd also say
there's a high probability we continue to add more links there." which
aligns with what was stated above, i.e. adding more socials or other links.

I think that's fine, but we should also be careful that folks may not
necessarily respond from socials on the main account.
