One of my most vital servers is a Netra 150 dating from 1997 - still going
strong, crammed with 12 x 300 Gb disks and running Solaris 9. I think one
ought to have more faith in Sun hardware.

If it's one of your "most vital," I think you should have less faith in Sun
hardware.
If it's one of your "nobody really cares, I can easily replace it," servers
then... sounds good.  Keep it on as long as it's alive.

Well, it's used as an off-site backup server whose content is in addition mirrored to another Linux server internally and as all the Netra's disks are UFS, if I ever had a problem with it I'd just pull them all out and transfer them to an E450 and power that on in its place.
