One note. If TrueNAS Core is going to survive a few more years, upstream work may still be needed.
For example, if a original, upstream package was last updated a month ago, but the FreeBSD 13.3 port of that package was last updated more than a year ago, perhaps an update of the FreeBSD 13.3 port is warranted. I don't expect cutting edge, (which at times is a bloody bleeding edge), version update. On the other hand, a July update of that package that clearly states its stability, (with the new, desired features), might be better for both FreeBSD 13.3 and TrueNAS Core 13.3 than the year old ports FreeBSD 13.3 currently has for that package.
Hope I have said this correctly. My other computers have a similar problem, some packages don't get attention that they deserve. (Gentoo Linux also has a package DB that can have outdated / older packages...)
