I'd be very, very careful with that. My understanding is that Atom will no longer receive any updates, including security updates. Atom has had a remote code execution vulnerability in the past that could be triggered by simply opening a package readme IIRC.
Atom is deeply integrated with the browser/Node.js ecosystem, and as such using a stale version sounds potentially very dangerous. I sincerely wish it was different, and that we could just continue using unmaintained applications as long as they "work", but that is sadly not the state of software today.
