I am working on a ~10 year old PHP project, the amount of changes that needed to be made in the last decade because of the changes in the language are almost non-existent. But using new features is nice and makes the code better, there are even projects (rectorphp) that can automate using of new features in the existing codebase.

The only time I've ever had to update legacy code due to a breaking change in PHP is when an old encryption algorithm was withdrawn and I had to write a migration to decrypt and re-encrypt the data we'd originally encrypted with it. Apart from that (and a few notices sent to Sentry) it's been smooth sailing over the years.
