As was suggested above, please provide the EtreCheck hardware and software configuration report. With that report, we can often find an indication of problems or issues or limits, or of malfunctioning apps or hardware.

If this is caused by hardware limits or hardware problems with the iMac 27” itself, there can be ways to increase the performance too, and keep the Mac going longer.

But the appropriate upgrades or workarounds can depend in what’s in the EtreCheck configuration report.

In order for us to assess your EtreCheck report we need to see it, it has no personal information on it. The reason for sharing it with us is:

1. Multiple sets of eyes can see things a single person cannot
2. Trained people can look for clues that may be causing the problem you are describing.

If you don't know how to post your report, first after running EtreCheck save the report to your Desktop. Then follow the directions in the following link to attach your EtreCheck report to this message. How to use the Add Text Feature When Post… - Apple Community

EtreCheck Pro is safe to use. It was created and maintained by a long time member of these forums. It does not show any personal information or hurt your iMac.
