Bringing them back to pass the torch over to a new set of heroes could be interesting, just as long as they have new heroes and name the show something else. Of course, I agree, unlike revivals currently, them going the action scenes in 40s/50s is too much. So a one-off special, or a new series with new heroes, maybe. Just as long as they don't reboot.
A reboot was in the works at NBC, but the series never got past a script order back in 2015.
She can thank Sarah Connor: Speaking to Yahoo! Entertainment, Lucy Lawless revealed she's up to doing a movie on Xena: Warrior Princess, saying that in particular, she was inspired by Linda Hamilton’s return as Sarah Connor in Terminator: Dark Fate, which opens in theaters this November.
“I saw Linda being amazing, and I’m like, ‘Why can’t we do that?’ Bring back me and Renée [O'Connor] and reboot Xena!'” she said, adding that the film would probably be her last-ever foray into the franchise.

Interestingly, enough, when we started making Xena, the French syndicators at the time were like, ‘The French will never accept a female warrior!’ I was like, ‘Joan of Arc?’ There was a lot of resistance generally to a female action hero, and I think we put a nail in that argument. ”
