I like to look at Issues and Pull Requests on Github if a crate wasn't updated for multiple years. If there are already problems like unsoundness, deprecation, or breaking bugs mentioned with no reaction shown by the maintainer, that is a good sign to look elsewhere instead. If everything seems fine and the crate isn't very complex or security-critical, it is probably not an issue.
