How many ambitious projects have been started by young people and pushed to GitHub, but abandoned when a shinier thing comes by? Edge lording and meme posting on twitter makes me think this outcome is more likely.
It's a heuristic, but one that has served me well.

You should read past the cover page. Guy is legit, cs prof, and a fellow old guy. He’s been at this a long time and by all means should write a modern day marketing book too. Some of his other code is getting pretty wide distribution (in rails). Worth learning about imho even if you don’t use it.
Lets not be literal but also lets not ignore the clues.
How those wonderful technological babel towers coming from all those very serious professionals at FAANG and adjacent often with yearly marketing budgets bigger than your net worth have been treating you? Funny thing, many of those cool frameworks seem to get "deprecated" when the authors ( very professional and serious people ) get promoted or leave the company.
At least they tend "sunset" the libs and frameworks in a very professional and concern way.
On a less facetious note: Your "fears" are valid and common, but you are so focused on the package design you're missing the actual product.
