If the wood is in good condition now then it is unlikely to crack.
However if the instrument has not been played for a long time then once you start playing it you should "break it in" gently just as you should a brand new instrument.
That means playing only for short periods each day at first and gradually extending the length over next few weeks until the moisture content of the wood has stabilised.

Old does not necessarily mean good - but on average the older instruments were much better made than most new ones and can play beautifully.
