And that's why running machines that are unknown to the employees is a
rather bad idea.

Ancient machines will fail at some point.
Is there someone who knows what is running on them and how to set that
up again on another machine?

No?
Than you might have a really bad day in a situation where you never
like such an outage.

Do you have spare parts?
Do you have all the installation media and backups of it?

TLDR: I like to run old stuff for fun, but I would never run such a
machine in a mission-critical environment, as the risk of a long-term
outage is too high.
