You got one of the few models that set appart the Apple brand from any other workstation manufacturer in the world. If you sell it, it's like giving away an Aston Martin DB Volante to a wiser guy for a few hundred dollars. Like cars, computers in general have a very limited life time, but also as cars some are crafted to last... and that is what happened with the Mac Pro 2008 on, it's was crafted like an Aston or a Rolls, to last (for ever…) making less noise that any new offering from any manufacturer including Apple (with the exemption of the current Mac Pro), more expandable than any, with real Xeon Pro processors the finest server grade processor of its day.
Intel hasn't been able to significantly overgrow the dual 3,3 mhz Xeon that beast carried because it had already hit a physical wall it has yet not been able to break, knowing it was going to be hard and take time, Intel changed its CPU strategy concentrating in reducing the consumption and heat produced and made no significant strides in multicore processing during the past decade. Which has been good for the laptop and the high end servers with multiple blades serving virtual achines but not specially for the high end workstation, that is one of the reasons AI is turning to GPUs not CPUs for core power.
There are many path to upgrade that beast to go as fast as you wish to: try a stripping array 5 x 1TB Fast SSD and compare the speed of writing or reading from it to any other Mac... you will be regularly on top, specially, in real usage and not just synthetic test. The video card can be upgradded a lot if you are willing to forego the Apple startup screen, the WIFI and Bluetooth can be upgraded to AC and BTL, Ram will get max. up at 32 gigs if recall correctly... USB-C no problem, USB3 no problem, 10gigabit ethernet no problem and all of that without a single dongle....
Anyone that advises you to sell that machine if it's working properly and in good condition, either has never used a Mac Pro 2008-2012 or wants to buy it from you cheaply.
