And, as far as I remember, babel development had nearly ceased during
that period.
Since quite some years, the development has gained much more traction
for babel and, as far as I read, babel is today as good or superior to
polyglossia in many regards (but polyglossia is also in quite a good
shape today). See for example:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/482396/decide-between-polyglossia-and-babel-for-lualatex-in-2019
In short: Babel is a very good choice in almost all cases, maybe
except for right-to-left texts set with XeLaTeX.
