“Dubious legal status” defined by whom?

All GitHub got was a take down request (which they were required to act on), not proof of anything being illegal (which requires a court case to prove)

A potential employer.

Youtube-dl has a lot of legal applications!

Indeed it has. But the DMCA takeout request nevertheless shows that the legality of the youtube-dl itself is not clear.
