In GNOME Software I sometimes see a warning that an app (usually from Flathub) has stopped receiving updates.
How do you evaluate when, or whether, an app is problematic because it is no longer receiving updates?

That’s your call if you want to do it or not. As long as you know the risks. Just because you don’t care doesn’t make it less risky.
Less risky than what? Many apps in flatpak are small hobby projects. Do you think most solo devs who do that for a hobby have a security process? Even if they release new versions weekly you have zero idea how they make use of third party libraries and if they keep them updated and you have no idea about their own code that probably no one audits.
