I stopped maintaining a AAA-capable rig in 2016. I've been playing indies since and haven't felt left out whatsoever.
Don't worry, you haven't missed anything. Sure, the games are prettier, but most of them are designed and written more poorly than 99% of indie titles...
The majority sure, but there are some gems though.
Baldurs Gate 3, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Doom Eternal, Elden Ring, God Of War, ... for example
You can always wait for a couple of years before playing them, but saying they didn't miss anything is a gross understatement.
