So when i comes time to upgrade, if i'm allowed, it looks like not
only the expense of the camera, possibly lenses as well, but new
computers and software.

Something i dont remember having to worry about in the film days.

From my point of view, a computer is something that needs to be
upgraded every few years whether I use it for photography or not.
Some portion of the expense can be "charged" to photography, but not
all of it. I guess it depends on what all you use it for.

It does, in fact, depend what you use it for.  Aside from photography,
my 11 year old 500MHz Celeron machine works just fine.  If your work
doesn't rely on some specific version of whatever application you're
running, computers can simply be upgraded when they fail.

My 6 year old, low level Dell (cost me ~$750 new) & CS2 handle the RAW output of my K20D
quite well - have no complaints.
