I too used usbmount in the distant past; it is now consigned to the
refuse bin of history. In my /etc/fstab I have
LABEL=ARCHIVE-10 /media/ARCHIVE-10 vfat ro,gid=1000,fmask=0117,dmask=0007,noatime,noauto,user,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=5,x-systemd.device-timeout=1 0 0
The USB stick is mounted when it is accessed and unmounted after 5
seconds of non-use. Works brilliantly.
