You can find ways to work with whatever kit you have. But, as others have said, spot with thermal and shoot with digital.
The tech keeps evolving, but the old stuff does what it always has. Folk with Quantums and Drone Pros continue to account for a lot of foxes, etc.
Fretting about what to buy often seems to have more to do with insecurity about other people making better choices. We all feel that, to a degree, but don't confuse it with gaining significant advantages in the field.
Those come from getting out a lot, knowing your ground and your quarry, and being able to shoot straight all the time.
One caveat. I speak as a recreational shooter. If species management were part of my job, and productivity a metric, then the advantage tech can give would have a different kind of value.
