From what I found, the latest official version of HFSExplorer for windows is still the old 2021 release, so seeing that date is normal. I’d only download HFSExplorer for windows from the official Catacombae site, and in my experience I’d also run a quick Windows Security scan first just to be safe.
I’d use a command-line tool instead of HFSExplorer, because HFSExplorer is not really a CLI solution and it does not support APFS.
