Absolutely have your legal review unsplash license and ToS if you want to use an image of theirs in a project, I doubt they can provide meaningful defense for their "licensees" in case an author of a photo claims their work was put on unsplash without their permission and you ended up using and distributing it - this is basically the service that companies like Getty (however terrible) and Stock photo agencies provide and charge for besides the image itself.

Then there's the lack (last time I checked) of any sort of releases for all those images of people and even properties that are needed when making commercial use.

Some great photos on there - I take it that some kind of AI processing is used at the top level to tag the pictures as it is mostly pretty good but I was surprised that this picture is described as "gray concrete bridge near mountain at daytime":

NB The description on the picture itself is fine - its the top level description in the search results that is a bit odd

I may be wrong, but I think the photographer wrote that description - it's not unusual to see image descriptions like this on stock photography websites as it allows for more precise searches.

I'd be surprised if someone wrote "rule of thirds photography of gray concrete shed" for this one:

+1 for Unsplash. They've got a nice little Mac app [1] that updates your desktop with random shots, too.

I prefer https://www.pexels.com/. Their search seems to find more relevant hits.
