That's a decision only you can make. It it was me, I personally would not invest in a device that was released now 6 years ago. Given the device is that age, it wouldn't be unlikely for it to not be able to run iPadOS 14 when it is released later this year, but that's only a guess based on the supported life of previous devices.
