I found this article on another thread and it is very helpful. TL;DR try updating to 5.1.1 before attempting anything else, but there are some other helpful alternatives outlined here: https://soundst.com/2018/12/contact-form-7-recaptcha-spam-issues/

Thanks for the article, @locascioa. Very helpful.

I also have noticed a major increase in spam since this update. I followed all the installation directions from the upgrade guide.
