You can keep it running as is, it is your own setup and very nice. A reason why my advice is to upgrade is that I though you use Pi cameras (CSI flatcable), but they are generic USB ones. As long as the USB cams keep working, there is no real issue. But if some HW fails permanently and you can't buy an exact replacement, you risk a non-working setup with new/other camera. It might mean: Buster not supported. So then you are stuck. It is a reason I do upgrades and use rolling releases. The disadvantage is you'll be parttime SW tester.So, I do indeed have lots of experience with setting up Linux machines and getting them to do what I want.
But, this enforced manual upgrade to Bookworm is, in my humble opinion, somewhat idiotic. I know the Pi fanboys will defend this and call me stupid for not wanting to do it. Perhaps I am stupid. So far I've spent ten days and perhaps a total of 24 hours trying to move stuff to a newly imaged Bookworm boot disk. I'm less than half way done with one machine with three to go. It has been agonizing, frustrating and absolutely no fun at all. I will not continue.
If I read: "lots of experience with setting up Linux machines" I assume It is like the ArchLinux way of installing Linux. So you know fdisk/gdisk, fix errors related to it and so on. That means "getting them to do what I want" for me at least.
An example of 'not getting to do what I want' for me is that a pre-installed RPiOS just claims/uses the whole SD-card after first boot.
