No, Maggie (and the rest of the Simpsons family) generally doesn't grow up in the main continuity because the show relies on its status quo, but some special future-themed episodes show her as an adult rockstar or even pregnant, revealing potential adult versions with different professions and relationships. The core premise keeps her a baby, but guest spots and flash-forwards offer glimpses of her growing up, sometimes even speaking.
Rockstar Maggie is Maggie Simpson's adult form from "Holidays of Future Passed". She is the lead singer and electric guitarist for her rock band and is known as "The Voice of Her Generation", although like any time she appears in the future her voice, ironically, is never heard.

Apu Nahasapeemapetilon was effectively written off The Simpsons primarily because voice actor Hank Azaria stopped voicing him in 2020, following years of criticism, especially after the documentary "The Problem with Apu," which highlighted how the character perpetuated harmful South Asian stereotypes, with Azaria acknowledging the character's role in dehumanizing a community and causing offense, making it clear he didn't want to continue the role in its existing form.
