I would be concerned that as the current type of refrigerant will increase in price as need for it dwindles. In a few years it will likely become very expensive to charge your fairly new system manufactured in 2024 or before.
I am holding off until 2025 to replace my system for this very reason. I will insure that my new unit will operate with the newest refrigerant.

It is true that R410A is being phased out but there are drop in replacements so that you won't have to replace the AHU too.
It still may make sense to wait as long as possible as some of the new refrigerants are classified as flammable. Probably not a big deal but a concern.
New non-flammable low GWP Drop-in replacement for R410A. The ONLY retrofit alternative to R410A on the market with A1 safety classification

I believe the best reason to hold off is that many new features are being added over time and may be cheaper as competition increases.
