The fewer management options might make it worth keeping the TM server on an older OS...at least until Apple stops doing security patches for a business setting...but for SOHO use that is t as big of a deal probably.
WiFi is slower, but again for home use laptops are rarely wired connections. Other options are worth considering...I use TM on our daily driver laptops but only for /Users...system and apps don’t get TM backups. My primary backups are a series of CarbonCopyCloner jobs anyway. neil The three kinds of stress…nuclear, cooking and a&&hole.
