rather seed things with fewer seeds and which are about to die.

is there any listing of those I can check somewhere?

If you want 90% of the stuff indexed on pirate sites is dead or with only 1 seed, I haven't found tools that take it automatically.

But there is this initiatives for books, books or paid courses are more subject to copyright strikes than entertainment material, therefore more difficult for students or workers to find.

libgen also uses IPFS and seems much better for this purpose.

With video content, most sd copies are very much at risk. DVDRip, VHSRip, VCDRip, VODRip and HDTV/SDTV stuff. In general though, most anything uploaded before 2016 that isn't a yify rip barely has any seeds these days.
