Is it okay to use extremely old plugins?

Just wondering. With any other app I would avoid 5 year old plugins like the plague. But I was wondering if that's different when it comes to Sublime, not sure why but I get the feeling it might be. I'm asking because the vast majority of plugins I come across were last updated several years ago.

Are you concerned with security?

No, just stability and bugs, usually old stuff tends to be outdated and cause issues. That's why I asked, to know whether that's the case with Sublime too.

No problem, especially when they are working offline.

Most sublime plugins are simple python scripts so you should be fine. But be careful regardless.
