Is it time to retire a 1999 my y-foil 66?

Retro Newbie
I have a 1999 y-foil 66 that has been nearly a daily road bike for 24 years - Likely 40,000 miles or more. There are no cracks or delamination in the body. Sadly the paint has enough chips that it is starting to look bad. I have a choice, retire it (as Marie Kondo says, "thank you for your service") or repaint and update it? My questions are:
can this carbon fiber still be viable and safe after all these years?
Is the uniqueness of this bike worth a repaint?

This has been the best and most comfortable bike I've ever owned. But is it worth it to keep it going?
