In my personal experience just anecdotally one generation is usually fine provided it is on the latest firmware for that device. A notable bonus is the cost is usually much less than the latest generation. The WiFi 6 that I bought about mid-life of 6 was about $150 and is now $75 on Amazon where as WiFi 7 is significantly more. Some may have a need for the extra speed but my WiFi 6 is still plenty fast enough to keep up with my 500mb/s fiber.
