> And yeah, you guys, it's time to buy a suit

No company worth working for would refuse to hire someone just because they didn't wear a suit to their interview

Dress nicely, sure. Wear a collar? Yeah probably. A tie? Meh.

Let's get rid of this old fashioned boomer nonsense from hiring please

My advice is to ask to hiring manager who invites you to come in about the dress code expectation / norms, and try to be on the higher end of the range they give, without going over.

I agree no one will explicitly decide one way or another based on how you dress. But making everyone in the room feel comfortable with each other will help the whole process.
