Indeed. SNR is likely to be at a vinyl-like 65 dB or so, corresponding to 11 bits, and the analog filters and processing in a 40-year-old mixer are probably way worse in terms of phase and temporal behaviour than even the steepest modern low pass filter, so 44 k sample rate is more than good enough.
