Is it just time to upgrade to a newer model?
We have 5 family members on our Orbi RBR50 with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, lots of research and cell phones connected by Broadband. Should we upgrade to a more powerful system?

Depends on if its working or not. the RBR50 system was one of the fastest/widest coverage/reliable systems you could get for a long time.
I've got it and still use it at times even over my AX11000 mesh system.
As well as what speeds you pay for. If you're on a 100-300+mbps ISP setup, the bottleneck won't be the orbi.
Plus, if it was me, I'd be waiting on generation 2 of wireless AX devices for a few more bugs to be ironed out.
