rummage online doesn't seem to fully answer my questions.

If you're buying the Pi4 then why not go for a Pi5, there's very
little difference in the price.
 

nearly twice the price for entry level.

I've run two Pi4 systems without heatsink or fan for a very long time
with no issues at all.  I've just looked at one of them, it's been
running at least since May 2023.  As I understand it anyway the
system will simply slow down if it thinks it's getting too hot.
 

AIUI that is the case
When you are using it in 'burst mode' to do something compute intense it will get hot.
But not that hot... :-)

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
