Even Digikey stocks none. Anyone knows a source that keeps making dtmf
transceivers for the years to come?

It is possible to encode and decode the DTMF with pretty much any microcontroller. For example, you can do this:

However, if the goal is the communication, I would rather implement a PSK or FSK modem using a microcontroller. It would be much better and even simpler then the DTMF.
