If it's perfectly fine with Ventura, why update? Ventura is still receiving security updates, so security isn't really a concern. Your iMac is Intel, so Ventura will probably work best. You should think about update it at least to Sonoma next year, after the realese of macOS 16 (at that time, Ventura will stop receiving security updates).
