Actually you are more likely to rewrite and migrate away from that legacy codebase once you succeed/pivot I recommend watching Kent Back’s 3X talk for that, I also wrote a blogpost about it: https://rchavesferna.medium.com/designed-v-evolutionary-code-d52a54408c8f https://rchavesferna.medium.com/designed-v-evolutionary-code...

In theory yes, you're supposed to migrate away from the legacy codebase. In practice I've never, ever, ever seen that happen: it's too much upfront cost to start over, especially when you have real customers and real data on top of it and you need to keep pumping out new features.
