You don't have a double hull; you've got liquid hydrogen only one hull
away.
Which should be about the same hazard as standing in the same room with
a liquid hydrogen storage tank. In other words, not much because the
leakage rate is pretty low. The liquid form leaks at a much slower rate
than the gas form.
If you could manage to get a metastable metallic form, it wouldn't leak
at all. High TL required for that I am sure.
