This is wrong in so many levels Agility mindset, startup or not, does not
prevent to do the required cleanups.
These, by the way, are yearly, worst case.

Many things that will actually break codes (removal of features f.e.), have
been deprecated for years.
as it has been mentioned, many distributions provide longer support for
older php versions.
If you want the latest php version, you will have to prepare for it,
constantly and changing, cleaning your code constantly. This is done as
part of the daily feature additions, no need to ask a PO or whoever else,
just add it to your estimates (if you still use them).
However, asking, as nicely as you did, the volunteers here to do it for you
as the language level, won't work.
