However, if things are worn, it’s not entirely financially stupid to replace-with-better.
I’m not sure I’d want to go to 3x10 though.
10-speed stuff wear out noticeably faster.
I’d stay at 3x9 or possibly 2x10. For my riding, those give me the range/ratio mix I’m happy with.

The stuff you have is a little heavier and has more paint and steel and castings, less plating and aluminum and forgings. It won’t last as long, in theory, though heavy use and outdoor storage would be needed to really use it up or rust it. The project is bigger than you imagine, with parts you don’t have listed and special tools to do the work. Leave it alone, go ride.

7 is not among the factors of 24. I was thinking of the bottom bracket for the hollow spindle, brake levers (T6000 brakes are probably hydraulic disc, haven’t looked), chain, and likely small parts. Tools for both styles of crank and BB, cassette socket and chain whip, cable tools, I’m sure I could come up with more stuff.

Regarding the OP - Deore components do work noticeably better then Altus/Acera (look nicer too which may or may not be of importance), and in my experience are also more durable (although when adding the costs over a period of a time, the result may be the same). Is this a reason to pay significantly more upfront? Maybe, or maybe not. Upgrade as you replace is a decent strategy, but it won't really work when upgrading from 8-speed to 10 speed components, as they are not compatible.

My hybrid was a "generic" 3X8 with the 11-32 cassette and 28-38-48 cranks.
Now way would I ever justify a gear higher than 48-14 and lower than 38-27 for that bike's purpose.
I changed the cranks to a 22-32-44 and a 12-23 or 13-25 cassette depending on my fitness level.
Lot's of nice closely spaced gears that work very well with minor slope/head wind changes.
The "A" stuff will function adequately.
IF you are changing hubs, go to a mid Deore level. Shimano's bottom end hubs don't have polished cones and my RM-30 hubs tend to eat DS cones. (oxide finish)
I mad the mistake of building 3 wheels with that hub, thinking even a cheap Shimano should be good enough. Not if you use it much.
