I would love some advice, personally. How big of an issue is this really? Like....do I really have to care if there aren't system updates anymore? How big of a security risk is it actually?

Sooner or later the issue will be that some software probably won't be available any more for your system.

This is a minor issue compared to the security risks. See the other comment in this thread for a good explanation.
