I've replace systems over a decade old that despite creaking at the seams were, again, well run and maintained and just carried on.

One caveat here is the team supporting them - all too often they are not kept in sync (patches and updates not applied evenly, apps creeping into some but not others and lots of other things that keep the platform running well).
