Hi guys
Would need your opinion as I have been away from MTB'ing the past 3 years due to an injury.
Have a 2015 Banshee Spitfire v2, I went with the 26" option back then as I was undecided with 27.5". 5 years later, every bike is 27.5 boost or 29 boost.
Am wondering is the bike still relevant to keep the bike and say upgrade the rims and dropout to 27.5"?
How important is it to have boost hubs?
Current parts are below, should I upgrade any of the following or cut my losses and buy a new bike?

Rear shock - Cane Creek DBInline
Fork - 27.5" RockShox Pike RCT3 Solo Air Forks
Handlebars - Thomson All Mountain Carbon Riser Bar
Stem - Thomson Elite X4 MTB Stem
Grips - Custom Lizard Skin
Headset - Chris King InSet 2
Bottom Bracket - Chris King Bottom Bracket Set
Rim: Mavic XM819 Disc
Front hub: Chris King ISO
Rear hub: Chris King ISO
Brakes - Hope Tech 3 E4
Rear Derailleur - Saint M820 (Medium cage)
Shifter - Saint M820 (Left)
Pedal - Saint MX80
Crank - Saint M820
Chainring - Race Face NW (30t)
