If it's going to be money out of your own pocket, I see no reason to upgrade unless you intend to use some of the features not available in 2007. Some of them you should not use anyway.
The main reasons for upgrading is that 2007 is:
- It has reached end-of-life and is no longer supported by Microsoft (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3198497/office-2007-approaching-end-of-extended-support). This means no more patches, security updates, etc.
- If someone else uses new functionality in a more current version and tries to share it with you, you will not be able to use it.
Seeing as it is over 10 years old now, I would encourage looking to upgrade.
