No idea about the dead SSL connection issue. I haven't used it long enough to properly evaluate it. Most of my experience is with offlineimap (with Mutt). The getmail changelog would suggest it is still supported, with the most recent release being from late August. http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/CHANGELOG It is still available in Debian sid and buster, and there is some interest on their mailing list in migrating getmail to Python 3 to keep it in Debian (and to drop "historical cruft and backwards-compatibility code"). It might be worth a look and perhaps giving them a hand. https://marc.info/?t=157365903900002&r=1&w=2
