Every generation uses this. I had a 60-year old coworker who said this to me when she was training me years ago.

Yes and no. Mainly no:

No doubt there are older people who use the phrase today, but that's still more annoying; they are the older people who are very proud of inserting 'cray cray' and 'yeet' into conversations.

Those people are just delulu.

You can pry “yeet” from my cold, dead hands. It’s a great onomatopoeic word to express the feeling of throwing something with great force.

“Mark had enough of his job, so he stood and yeeted his laptop out of the window.”

Why was there a pronounced dip right before it exploded? It’s like watching the tide roll way out before a tsunami hits.

Since most authors are probably 40+ your link seems to corroborate the above comment.

Cray cray is the worst, longer and sounds dumb.

At least yeet can be funny if you're referencing a meme/being intentionally ironic. I'm not sure there's another great word to replace it anyhow, chuck or hurl are probably the closest but don't imply the level of reckless abandon, and aren't quite as "multi-purpose" in terms of understood contexts.
