I know I won't outgrow my Power8 before the latest OS won't run on it, but
hopefully that won't be for a few years. Even my old 515 still has enough

Once we moved to our current box (which I believe is a POWER7+, and
definitely at the lowest possible tier) several years ago, we have
been unable to throw anything at it which makes it break a sweat. If
your business is growing so fast that you actually need to upgrade for
performance reasons, that is a great, great problem for your business
to have. I think the vast majority of IBM midrange shops out there are
only upgrading at this point for maintenance and support reasons.
