Had a 3GS for many years. Once the iOS was not compatible with the phone it stopped asking me to update. No problems with working at all.
Same is true on the iMac I use at home that is about 8 years old now. The last software update I did was to Lion.
One issue that is a problem is with iTunes. If you have an old OS like XP, the new iTunes is not compatible and if you update a phone over wifi it then won't sync to the old iTunes.

Problems arise when you start storage of things on non updated devices. They get you in the end. You can use a 256k IBM computer until the end of time. But try transferring those files!!!!
As long as you're not storing anything you're fine. Once you start using it for documents, banking, music - you're there's!!!!
Not sure I understand why docs are an issue. Never had any problems with the old phone even when using apps made for newer iOs. I used it for streaming radio or playing music in my car and when traveling all the time. The music player, browser, etc. never failed to work for me.
My iMac is my primary home computer and I have no issues with any file types, playing music, banking, or anything else.
Why would I have a problem with storing files?
