This isn't a resource problem, it's a code problem. The IETF wants 10-15

older host stop working is frowned upon.
Fortunately this is a solved problem in capacity planning: you replace
machines often enough that they're not constantly out of service being
repaired. 10 to 15 human-years is the equivalent of 70 to 105 of the
dog-years we use in this silly business (;-))
I have quite a number of consumer devices from 2000 or earlier still running,
consumer endpoints (aka IoT devices) do not get updated very much, if at all.
