Update early 2015 macbook pro to newest os?

I have an older MacBook Pro (early 2015), currently running High Sierra, with an Intel Core i5 at 2.7 GHz, 2 cores, L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB, L3 Cache: 3 MB, Memory: 8 GB. My on-board hard drive is almost full.

Can I safely update to the latest OS, without using too much more hard drive space, and without suffering too many performance problems b/c of my computer's old brain?

Many thanks!

Should work just fine. See How to Upgrade to Mojave.

Run First Aid on the target volume.
Make a bootable backup of the target volume, just in case.l
Test the backup.
Download the upgrade installer.
Upgrade your system.

See the following from Upgrade to macOS Mojave - Official Apple Support

To install macOS Mojave, your Mac needs at least 2GB of memory and 12.5GB of available storage space to upgrade—or up to 18.5GB of storage space when upgrading from OS X Yosemite or earlier.
