I have the sevens which are 8+ years old at this point and probably won’t survive this season.

Sure trail runners in general are fine for scrambling, I wouldn't push it past class 4 without something that has a stiffer sole though. There are some good reviews of the Peregrines out there. I had an old pair, like Peregrine 7 or something, and I did notice the sole wore out a bit more quickly than my La Sportivas do.
I sort of think of the Cascadia as the yardstick by which every other shoe can be measured. Other shoes can be lighter, higher or lower, etc… but the Cascadia is kind of like that “ideal” Mario Kart build where you could max out your points in one specific area to be optimal for your style and situation, that shoe does everything pretty well.
I’ve been a Cascadia fan since they launched, although I drifted away for awhile to the Pure Grit when that was a thing, then the Perigine and the Altra Lone Peak, neither of which worked well for me. V19 has been fantastic on the rocks in AZ - reasonably light, pretty resilient, no issues with stability.
Sadly with the 13s they changed the sole, and they just don't have the grip of the older ones. Which is a shame, because they were a great shoe. I went through several pairs before I had to find something else.
I loved the older Peregrine's but the new ones quality is absolute trash. I've moved over to Nnormals and don't see myself going back. Tomirs will probably fit your foot best, Kjerag is more "like" the Peregrine IMO (stiffer foam, lighter) but you may find them tight. Good luck!
