I'll respond to a few of your questions for future reference!
1) When I bought my first Onyx device (a T68, some years ago), customer support was dismal to nonexistent. It has improved significantly, though some people will tell you that there remains room for improvement. As for upgrades, in the earlier years Onyx would offer an upgrade or two and then essentially abandon the device. They claimed that hardware would not allow for an upgrade in the Android version they used. I don't know if that is true or not. This, too, has improved in recent years. Onyx is better at offering firmware upgrades for many of their devices.
2) Upgrades matter if there is some firmware issue with your device that gets in the way of what you want to do, or if there's an upgraded app you use and you want the upgrades. Otherwise, if all is working well for you, upgrades don't matter.
3) I haven't worked with the Lumi. I have a Nova 2 with Android 9 and a Note Air 2 with Android 11. They have firmware 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, respectively. The features are almost identical.
The one question I would ask about a used Onyx device is about the battery health. Some Onyx owners - though by no means all - report that their batteries began to lose significant charging capacity in a year or two. You'll want to make sure the battery is good.
That said, you may be able to get a Note Air 2 used. Or go down one step and get a used Note Air.
