I would endorse the 'if it aint broke, don't replace it' approach. I have a 1 GB 3B running the latest version of weewx and a number of other services for home control, and there would still be plenty of spare capacity if I could think of something else I wanted to do with it. An 8GB 4B would be extreme overkill unless you have some other specific reasons for needing a Pi with all that power.
