Unless you have since found a better alternative, it doesn’t seem like there is much to lose in at least giving it a try, even if it is a far from an ideal situation. We should always seek out regularly maintained, well supported plugins, but that is not always possible. Just to be safe, make a full backup of your site before trying outdated plugins. Backups are always good to have anyway.

If by chance you have found a better alternative, I hope you will share what you found ??
