Unfortunately it's all perspective. A sceleton crew might be good for mature projects that require very little support of any kind. If there aren't a lot (and that is subjective) of incidents and tickets from customers things might actually be good.

What you can do is evaluate what you can expect as work and if you are going to find it rewarding.
