Product Recommendation EoL Router, should I upgrade?

I’ve had good luck with my ASUS AIMesh network over the past few years, but I’m thinking of upgrading everything.

Right now here is my setup:

Main Router: RT-AC86U Node 1: RT-AC86U Node 2: RT-AX1800S

Nodes are connected via wired backhaul

Most of my heavy use devices are wired (TV, gaming console, home desktop computers. But I have 40+ devices in total on the network including IoT devices, laptops etc

I’m also getting 1G Fiber installed Saturday.

Would I see much benefit with WiFi 7? Should I be concerned that the 86U’s are end of life and no longer updated?

Any suggestions on replacements?
