My biggest concern for using the LTSB IoT is how long third-party application support will remain if Microsoft goes through with dropping support next year. I guess a lot of stuff still works under Windows 7 so maybe it will be fine?

I don’t expect but also won’t be surprised if it ends up being a Windows XP situation where they extend support for Windows 10 several times.

They absolutely will, and they're planning on this, they're just not going to announce the true EOL date. The deadline will scare people into upgrading, then they'll start extending it.
