I don't think this is active/trustworthy enough to merit a recommendation.

so should I look for others, or just not recommend any?

Just don't recommend any -- users can look for themselves.

Maintainer of lock_freedom is giving it a bit of love.

Also I have found https://github.com/DiscordJim/lfqueue and https://github.com/emilHof/sling and https://github.com/emilHof/unlink as other narrower alternatives that users may find useful if they dont need the full suite of features of lockfree.
