If I can't install Graphene, is Calyx still ok? (lemmy.world)

The only Pixel I have is a Pixel 3XL which is not supported anymore for updates. A few questions. does that mean at some point you have to buy a new phone all the time? How long are they supported, do I need the buy the newest one everytime to have a decently long support? If I can install Calyx, but have already degoogled my phone, is Calyx still useful? But I suppose at this point it's still better to get a Pixel anyway and install Graphene which is supposedly better? how risky is it to run an unsupported phone like my Pixel 3XL? What can happen?

Honestly I hate that question because who actually has an answer for that specific device and situation? Though you do provide a good breakdown
