In case you've not heard, the fate of Twemoji is rather uncertain for the near future: twitter/twemoji#570
TL;DR: Many people responsible for the project were laid off and nobody knows what's going to happen to it now. The Unicode 15.0 update was supposed to be dispatched sometime around last year, but wasn't because of the aforementioned reasons.
If Twemoji is not going to receive new updates, it might be a good idea to choose a different emoji vendor. One option I've explored was Google Noto Color Emoji, another open-source emoji project available here: https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji
It receives regular updates and is compliant to the Unicode 15.0 standard. One major problem it has, however, is the lack of pre-made flag emoji which are available in Twemoji.
Of course, this is far from being a priority and Noto isn't the only open-source emoji vendor, but with Unicode being annually updated, Twitch Downloader would benefit from migrating as to not miss out on the Unicode updates.

but many of them would have to be checked for having "FE0F" in the filename to render properly.
This should have been fixed in #547. Apparently String.StartsWith() and Span<T>.StartsWith() don't treat emojis the same which is why the FE0F (and #548) issues appeared
Also I'm not opposed to switching to the Noto color emojis. It looks like we should be able to reliably fetch the zip at runtime too instead of embedding it which means making the application file size 8MB smaller. Also by not attributing twemoji in the readme we've been violating the license
