With a 90% to 95% reduction in performance [0], I'd be interested to know when these "generational" upgrades are worth the hit, since it seems like you're already going back a few generations.
I'll admit I'm not familiar with the processing requirements of basestations, but the prospect of mass-produced FPGA baseband hardware still seems dubious to me, and I can't find conclusive evidence it being used, only suggestions that it might be useful (going back at least 20 years). Feel free to share more info.

[0] ASIC vs FPGA comparison of RISC-V processor, showing an 18x slowdown (or 94.[4]% reduction), apparently consistent with the "general design performance gap": https://iugrc.journals.ekb.eg/article_302717_7bac60ca6ef9fb9...
