If I were to choose between dropping those packages vs. being stuck
with the old jQuery, I would definitely prefer the former.  Most of
the plugins seem to support jQuery 3.5.1 and for those that don't out
of the box, anyone interested can later dig them out, adapt them and
repackage them.

Another package that depends on the old jQuery and that hasn't been
bumped for a long time is flot (0.8.3 dates back to 2014).  It looks
like the project has since been taken over and migrated to Github,
were it is currently released as version 4.2.1.  I can attempt a
repackaging myself and submit a patch here.
