AFAIK there are no known RIPEMD160 weaknesses. Why is it listed as legacy?

Because the documentation (work in progress) follows Nettle's documentation: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/nettle.html#Legacy-hash-functions
Legacy doesn't neccessarely mean "weak". Just that there are better replacements that you should use instead.
