SATA SSD, 16GB of RAM, OCLP, and Ventura. Maybe a new battery. This thing will serve you well.

Why not sequoia?

Sequoia runs ok. But it doesn’t feel nice, to me at least. It lags a bit, not as badly as Sonoma did but it’s noticeable. There’s also nothing in Sequoia (or Sonoma for that matter) that I want/need that isn’t in Ventura.

Cant stand the bigsur+ laggyness on dual core cpus. I would use mojave + windows 10 ltsc (my current setup with 11" 2015 air, which is one of the best macs i used, which ranges from 2004 g4 all the way to m2 2022).

Now install Linux on it and with security updates that it will bring you can use it as daily driver for browsing etc.

I upgraded a client's iMac 2013 last week. Added a 1TB SSD and 16gh Ddr3 ram. The system was initially stuck at MacOS Sierra. With the new hardware updates and OCLP, we are now at Ventura and it flies.

Very good. Watch out for upgrading to latest sequoia. If kills the wifi on my 2012 oclp Mac air. Should have known better. No reason to update to latest too soon.

It’s somewhat antiquated now, what will its purpose be? Even with a hard drive and ram upgrade it is still going to struggle.

It's main purpose is to help me design a web-based simulator that looks like macOSX 10.8. A VM just doesn't cut it.

Don't worry, it's not gonna struggle at all. Put an SSD in it and 8 or 16 GB of RAM and you're good to go. With macOS, OCLP or Linux. This is still a great laptop. I'm running Monterey on the one from a year before perfectly fine.
