Yup, looks like that chip should work fine, as long as you configure it to run in slave mode.
But the datasheet says the pin pitch is 0.5 mm. That's going to be very difficult to solder. Hand soldering 0.5 mm pitch almost always results in solder bridges between the pins.
Sadly, it seems parts like WM8783 in relatively easy to solder SOIC-8 packages have gone obsolete. WM8783 probably would have been the perfect chip for you. Looks like CS5381 is one of the last of this dying breed, but it's a relatively large 24 pin part.
Also a possibility might be PCM1801U, which is still in stock but not recommended for new designs. It'll almost certainly go obsolete in the next couple years. It's also 5V output, but appears to accept TTL level inputs (so 3.3V signals in should work). If you use it with Teensy 3.2 or 3.5 which are 5V tolerant, or put a 5V to 3.3V buffer between its output signal and Teensy's data input, it probably can work. It comes in a SOIC-14 package with fairly easy to solder 1.27 mm pin pitch.
