At some point you end up trying to change a pumpkin boat into an aircraft carrier, and there's no obvious way you can do that one piece at a time.
A lot of low hanging fruit to be addressed that will likely lead to meaningful improvements. Once the code is in better shape and some unfortunate legacy pattern is identified, than it can be considered time to re-tool the architecture.

A fun historical fact I just discovered, "Ford offered seat belts as an option in 1955. These were not popular, with only 2% of Ford buyers choosing to pay for seatbelts in 1956" [0]. Which reads to me that many 1959 drivers would have been unlikely to have or use a seatbelt.
I have been kicking around an idea, and have thought about building a site. Strictly an off-hours, hobby amount of effort. I think I would be lucky to recoup DO hosting fees.

Computer performance has felt ~stagnant for the past decade. Given the number of platforms that build to be mobile friendly, there is increasingly less need to be constantly running a power hungry rig as my main configuration when I am spending most of my time browser the internet. If I want to "desktop game" I could stream from the living room to my desk in the event it is not a controller friendly experience.
