Isn't there still a strong SEO advantage to having a good domain?

My understanding was that a big part of domain 'authority' comes from having a topic-relevant domain of a reasonable age, but my SEO knowledge is a few years out of date so that may not be true nowadays.

Yes - having an aged keyword rich domain does impact SEO (although it's only one ingredient)

That being said - you could have a (somewhat cuz it's not that old) aged keyword rich .co domain with quality inbound links and good content and likely rank the same.
