Latest "usable" version of Mac OS for a Intel iMac 2020

I have an "old" iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) running on a "3.8 GHz 8-Core inter Core i7". I have 40GB of RAM. Actually it is still running on macOS Monterey (12.7.6).


What is the latest version of Mac OS that would run on this iMac without giving me performance problems and/or compatibility issues ?


Thank's for your help / suggestions.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.7

Sequoia should be fine


One feature that will not appear in macOS 15 for this machine is Apple Intelligence if that matters


This machine should qualify to iPhone Mirroring: Use your iPhone from your Mac and Mac computers with the Apple T2 Security Chip


If that matters
