@decryption sounds very reasonable
on the other hand, missing future software updates on a >10 year old switch series is maybe fine? (edit: oops, thought you said EX4300)
(assuming you don't expose its management interfaces to untrusted networks, and aren't doing any sophisticated L3 stuff)

@oddline i think it's more mentally the idea of running unmaintained software in "production" bothers me more than any actual problems as the switch management won't be exposed to the internet (but might be accessible via tailscale along with the server IPMI)
@decryption @oddline well, 95% of networks out there are operating with unmaintained software in production :D
You only want 1Gbe with 10Gbe uplinks? honestly the JunOS EX3400's are bulletproof and cheap enough to have a spare on hand to swap out in case of failure, or pro-tip run them in a stack, send 2x1G LACP to your hosts and reduce your SPOF :)
Otherwise i have a spare Dell Force10 S4810P if you were wanting a 10/40GBE switch that i've been meaning to part with for years.
