You don't buy a Pi for performance. You buy it for peace of mind. If one dies you can easily find a replacement and just swap out the SD card.
Because where will you buy the replacement once RPI plc has discontinued it? Esp. considering the likes of https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-1973...
Get a new replacement one, swap over the NVME. Doesn’t have to be the same cpu, linux handles the rest.
