WordPress's core APIs might be very well-supported, but most of their plugin ecosystem doesn't have such guarantees. I recently tried to revive a 2014 backup of my local hackerspace's website so that I could staticize it, but it wouldn't look right even with the same PHP and MySQL versions, because many of the plugins stopped working. I think I would have been better off scraping a copy of the site from Archive.org.
