Is Slater's list of atomic radii still state of the art?

Physics Asked on October 3, 2020

The wikipedia page for atomic radius shows two periodic tables for the atomic radius https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_radius

One was published by slater in 1964, the other by Clementi in 1967. I understand why those tables are different, but I am asking myself if these radii are still somewhat correct. I found that wikipedia entries on such fundamental stuff usually use reasonable references. The researchers were definitely smart people and knew what they were doing, but in 50 years of thecnical progress, isn’t there much more accurate data available? Or in other words, are those radii even remotely state of the art today?
