You keep saying this as if all potential future employers already know everything about you and specifically want to avoid it.
You know what you do with legacy/niche tech that isn't interesting to most employers? You can _leave it off your resume_. (Which is not to say you shouldn't include your experience with ECM platforms - there are multiple extremely large, well-paying tech companies in that domain, or in domains where that kind of experience is valuable to them!)
Do you know literally any mainstream language? Java, C#, C++, Python, Javascript, Ruby, Go? Congratulations, that's enough to both get you interviewed and also a prerequisite to being able to pass those interviews.
Here's how you see something better: you go to LinkedIn > Jobs > Search: "Senior Software Engineer", Location: "Remote". Every single result will pay more than what you're currently earning, sometimes by integer multiples. Some of them won't even rely on Leetcode-like questions for their interviews, though you should still absolutely spend ~50-100 hours practicing (though 20 hours is probably enough to get a handle on the most critical stuff, i.e. common string/array manipulations, tree traversal, etc). If you think it's not worth spending 50 hours to increase your lifetime income by millions of dollars, that's obviously your call, but it'd be the depression talking, not a sober evaluation of the trade-offs, or whether you can even find 50 hours somewhere (you can; if you didn't have some slack somewhere, then some random happenstance would've knocked your feet out from under you over the last year or two, and since that hasn't happened that means you have non-zero buffer).
If you want I will personally help you tailor your resume to be attractive to recruiters and hiring managers while being completely honest about your experience and competencies. Feel free to email me: comp_throw7@protonmail.com.
