I think the answer's going to depend on the age. I have a 2007 era laptop that still works, though its battery doesn't, and is painfully burdened by modern Gnome. But managed Gnome from way back then quite acceptably. It has a no-longer supported NVidia graphics chipset (NVidia removed drivers for that model some time ago).
Very old nvidia drivers may not be available through rmpfusion but drivers back to the 304 series for Geforce 6 chips are still available on nvidia.com. You just download and install the rpm.
I have an IBM T60 which was first introduced in 2006. Like your laptop, the battery is very short-lived, but the computer works fine. Presently running Fedora 35 with, iirc without looking, the 340 series nvidia driver (Geforce 9600 gpu, I think).
Removing the legacy BIOS boot is a step backwards and will hurt a large number of Fedora users who are, in the end count, a large testing group for a cutting edge distro.
