   I'd strongly encourage you to upgrade to latest version of Airflow since you 
have good reason. There are many tens or hundreds of bug fixes implemented 
since the version you have - depends on verssion, and there are quite a few 
security vulnerabilities implemented in 2.7.* line so It's a smart idea to 
upgrade (and keep on upgrading as we release new versions for the same 
reasons). 
   
   You might be affected by any of those bugs fixed (including security 
advisories) and definitely the best way to address them is to upgrade things. 
Airflow follows SemVer and any 2.* version is intended to be backwards 
compatible (occassionally things are changing and are mentioned in relase notes 
- mostly having good reasons, being security related things. 
   
   And you even can if you want to keep any providers you use in their old 
versions even if you are afraid of backwards incompatible changes in providers 
(which might happen).
   
   And answering your question - probably yes, at the very least it impacts 
performance by the sheer fact of writing the logs. There might be also other 
things. Not mentioning the tens of fixes you would get when upgrading.
   
   BTW. There are regulations being just passed in EU (Cyber Resilience Act) 
and US that will make all companies require to upgade their software to be 
upgraded when there are security fixes, so in the next 24 months or so you will 
likely have to start doing regular updates, so I also encourage people to start 
doing such regular upgrades now to get used to it and work out processes that 
they will have ot deploy soon anyway.
