Can my 2018 iMac handle a macOS update from Monterey?

My iMac 2018 is still running Monterey. In 2022 I bought a 1-T G-Drive SSD and installed the operating system on it, and it's still fine. I've put off updating the OS. Do you think it would overwhelm my vintage machine? I will attach my EtreCheck report.

You can find an App Store link to download Ventura here:

Ventura is still one of the "most recent three" - for now. If Apple keeps to the same release schedule that they have followed for the last ten years, Sequoia's successor will come out some time in September, October, or November – at which time Ventura will fall off the list of the "most recent three."
