As someone who uses macOS for 11 years as the daily driver for his work, I can just say that it would be a bloodbath.
Not only is the driver support abysmal, kext are gone, and the actual quality of macOS has declined significantly over the years.
10 years ago, there was the rule of thumb to wait one update before you do the “big” OS upgrade, now it's better to wait for 3–4 updates as Sanoma crashes on our working machines (1500 people company) frequently.
Speaking of crashes, my m1 MacBook Pro 13, still running Ventura, has crashed more than ANY OTHER mac before. And I'm talking about crashes like, you close the lid, drive to the airport, take a seat, open the lid and just see that macOS starts completely fresh and presents you with a system crash message.
And this is the first Mac where I don't use any kext, strange tools, and completely abandoned software development…
The only thing that let me keep the m1 is the battery life...
