Just wait till you break it to buy a new one, if you're lucky you'll be able to hold on to your phone long enough that it will feel like an actual upgrade instead just being new.

I did that but lost my headphones jack with connected built in quad DAC, a reliable fingerprint reader mounted on the back of the phone, and front facing camera that wasn't crammed under my screen causing an annoying dead spot...

I am responding to you on an LG V30 that I haven't been able to part with because of the things you mentioned.

The battery life sucks and sometimes the fingerprint reader on the back doesn't work right but I can't bring myself to buy something new that doesn't have the features I want. It just feels like I'd be downgrading.

You're on the phone that died on me and I felt the exact same way, if you find something you're happy with let me know, so far I've HATED my Pixel 7 Pro experience but 50% of that is probably a combination of more recent updates to Android than I had been running on my LG and the specific PixelOS features or lack there of in comparison.
