Should not, I agree.
But until we see him falter under a magical attack, he really has no limits. And while the evidence is currently inconclusive, I would say....he hasn't been UNABLE to evolve past anything thus far, he probably wouldn't be unable to evolve past magic at some point later in the future.

The purely scientific reasoning behind his powers versus the chaotic nature of magic? I say magic could stop him but thats just me.
The thing about magic, is its so undefined, that he should only be able to evolve to an aspect thats he's exposed to, like magical concussive blasts. But, when the nature of the magic changes, he should be back at square one
I'd say a reality warper...but....Psylocke is immune to RW so he should just be able to evolve passed the RW energy....in any event it's RW Energy...meaning it has a frequency and a wavelength which he could just become immune to...now BFR'ing via RW should work...
As for the magic thing...well isn't it considered Energy in the MU? So again couldn't he just evolve passed the energy wavelength?
Inconclusive...I guess...he seems like the perfect person to take out that Star-Destroying Bastard...
I think Darwin's power is being misinterpreted
it is not that he could "evolve past" magic, it is that his body is capable of adapting instantly to the environment for his own survival.
So, in general, he would never become immune, or move past magic, but if say, you tried to hold him with the bands of cytorrak, it is presumable that he will evolve a capability to get out of them, however, it would not have any effect on other magic spells. The same probably goes for reality warping.
But ya, im sure some high level warper or magic user could do something too powerful for him to adapt to. They have lots of "outside the box" options

That's true his adaptations aren't permanent...they last however long they're needed for....but he's been shown to adapt to attacks of unknown nature(Krakoas Attack) before they connect...so it's kind of a false immunity....because the attack will never have get the chance to do any damage...
BFR should work on him....I can't think of anyway he can save himself from that...

Well it is one of those....what was the writer smoking when they created him characters...
He can also force his adaptations....and he can increase his intelligence to whatever level needed via his powers...
It doesn't look like he'll last..since he can't be killed he'll most likely get trapped with Gabriel...in an alternate dimension...

is he still kicking at all in a title?
I saw him in Deadly Genesis, anything since then
hmmm, I kinda thought he was interesting, but it would be good if they got rid of him. The last thing marvel needs is another character with a compleatly ambigious powerset

Yeah he's sticking around...so far he has been in the last 5 comics of the Vulcan/Shiar Arc...
He hasn't done much..other then survive unaided in space....
The Arc has been quite slow...the only hint of excitement was the mention of the Annihalation wave near Earth...the next issue should pick up...hopefully...

We're aware that that's how it works. What is being asked is IF he could evolve defenses against magic?
For example, if he's in a fire, his skin may become incredibly resistant to heat. What of magical fire? Would it work the same way? If he's struck by lightning, perhaps his body would ground itself, or insulate his internal organs with some sort of rubbery compound - what if THOR struck him with lightning? Would the same happen? 😬.
