Ironically, I upgraded my 2017 13" MBP spare computer from Mojave to Ventura just last night, which seems to be the last supported MacOS version for that computer. Since the warranty is long voided and it is just an emergency spare, I think that I may want to do this on it now that you pointed out the possibility.....
OpenCore Legacy Patcher and you're done. (Ok, maybe add in some patience.)

This guy's video is very good. I took his advice and used Disk Utility to erase the hard drive. I had to force a restart a couple times, but it finally went through. I think that was because I had previously (years ago) removed the DVD drive and replaced it with a second hard drive. I think it gakked when it was trying update the DVD drivers and couldn't find the DVD.

Note: This process removes Apple's SIP, so there is a slight security risk there in that it makes it easier to accidentally install malware.
