There is a related expression, "Куда мы катимся?" What is this world coming to?
So it could be that "катиться в тартарары" is its logical amplification.
We also say, "Докатились." Meaning that we are now living worse than we used to (because there was not much effort involved to rectify the situation.)
And I agree with others that your expression is not used overly much today but neither is it really rare.
