[3.3.x] Convertors • convert ancient IPB to phpBB?

Hi - there's an old IPB forum (v 2.3.4) that is closing and I'd really like to convert to phpBB as an archive. Looking at the closed IPB 2.3.x to phpBB3 thread viewtopic.php?t=576207 and the converter how-to at viewtopic.php?f=65&t=1213555 it seems the procedure would be to convert IPB 2.3.4 -> phpBB3.0.x -> latest phpBB. The first conversion would use the converter at viewtopic.php?p=9367695#p9367695.

Is this feasible onto a recent system: Debian 12, Apache 2.4.62, php8.2, recent MySQL/MariaDB/SQLite? Would the converter work to the final phpBB 3.0.14? Can phpBB 3.0.14 be installed onto that recent system, or would I need older versions of php/sql etc?

Thanks!
