I’m still dealing with the long goodbye of a silverlight app which now must be somehow ported.

if there's an escape hatch you should probably use it. In my experience companies never support you during rewrites "well why don't you just convert the code to X language" almost never works on a huge project, it takes a ground up approach, and relying on the old stuff as "more like guidelines than the actual law"

The escape hatch is OpenSilver basically.

A clean rewrite isnt possible for a variety of business reasons.
