Facebook has a LevelDB fork which is maintained.
It's called RocksDB and the API seems to be nearly the same as for LevelDB, thus maybe easy to replace: http://rocksdb.org/   https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb

Although I don't know if we might have some negative effects for our use-case since RocksDB was optimized for big databases running on multiple cores.

While RocksDB is pretty decent, note that it's optimized for flash. Not sure how well it will work on spinning disks.  

That's OK for our purposes.  We have a huge database which already incentivized having zero seek time.
