I’m sure hardware is fine, I had a budget phone from six years ago (Huawei Y7 2019) before I upgraded and while it wasn’t good, it wasn’t unusable either. And that phone was just a hair above an Android Go phone. At this point performance upgrades should slow down. I can’t speak for their software support though.
Older/weaker hardware can last much longer on custom ROMs without Play Services. I have phones like the Xperia XZ1 (from 2017) that absolutely fly despite their older chipsets and limited RAM (in this case a Snapdragon 835 and 4 GB of RAM).
