Is the Ipad Air 5th gen still worth buying? (price dropped to $399 on Amazon and Walmart)

New iPad Air 5th gen M1
Dropped the price probably because they're trying to get rid of stock. I've been debating whether to just get the 5th gen (64gb) or new air model, mostly because of the new features and storage size.
I plan to draw, occasionally make animations and take notes for school. Not sure if 64 gb is enough for that, but the difference in price for getting the new air vs the 5th gen (+Apple Pencil) is $739 vs $531
How is the 5th gen putting up with today and would it be more worth to buy it than the new air?
I recently found a Black Friday deal at Walmart for a 2022 iPad Air 5th gen. It’s 256gb for $299 which is cheaper than most used or refurbished prices I saw for this model. The listing doesn’t say anything about used or refurbished so I’m assuming it’s brand new in box. It should be delivered this week sometime.
Has anyone seen an older iPad like this still being sold new? What are the chances that the battery has deteriorated sitting in a warehouse shelf for years? Does Apple 1 year warranty still cover a new device that hasn’t been in production for years? I was actually looking to get the base A16 but when I saw this with double the storage and M1 chip I thought this might be better
