Yes, I guess actually looking at its -compounds- far more than the metal itself, it is toxic, resembling but I don't believe as toxic as arsenic.

However, in lead-free plumbing compounds it is sometimes used something like 95% Tin / 5% Antimony.

Electronic lead-free/RoHS solder tends to be mostly Tin/Silver/(other things).
