I have a brother printer/scanner as well (model HL-L2395DW). I've been using at home since 2020 to supplement at-home office and school work once the pandemic started. It takes third-party black toner cartridges that you can buy from amazon/office stores. It's never jammed, I've replaced the starter toner cartridge, and have fed it several reams of paper.
Scanning works well with a USB cable to PC and wireless printing works well from Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. I expect it to last 10-20 years, overall a good product. I would not worry about getting this exact model, I'd expect any brother toner printer to work well.

You are completely ignoring the role of newer firmware being the part that enforces this.
