In the first episode of Star Trek: Discovery season 5, titled 'Red Directive', Commander Paul Stamets reveals that Starfleet has halted the development of the spore drive technology.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The 32nd century's version of the USS Voyager is the reason that Star Trek : Discovery season 5 is abandoning Starfleet 's revolutionary spore drive technology. Since they arrived in the 32nd century in season 3, the USS Discovery crew's one-of-a-kind spore drive has represented a potential replacement for dilithium-reliant warp travel in Star Trek 's future.

Stamets reveals that there will be no more spore drives after Star Trek: Discovery season 5, which is good news for Starfleet in the 32nd century. USS Voyager Is Why Star Trek Is Quitting Discovery’s Spore Drive Voyager has a history of scientific advancement in Starfleet.
It feels appropriate that the USS Voyager is responsible for replacing Star Trek: Discovery's spore drive, given its namesake's impact on warp travel centuries earlier. Star Trek: Prodigy revealed that, after returning to the Alpha Quadrant, much of the technology the USS Voyager encountered in the Delta Quadrant was adapted by Starfleet.
Presumably, the pathway drive is a means to achieve warp travel while using less dilithium, to reduce the Federation's reliance on it following the scarcity caused by the Burn. This is therefore a less risky proposition, which will be why Starfleet are now rolling it out following the USS Voyager-J's successful trial.
