If you need to use software professionally or in a commercial product, then go commercial.
I have been trying to switch to using more open source lately. And I couldn't notice how more than 90% of projects I Land on are abandonware . and the rest are so slowly moving you shouldn't rely on the for anything where security matters.
Stick with Foss projects that have a non profit behind then or a strong community of devs behind them. With a leat dozens of commits a month.
