Some relevant notes/links shared by the team:
- Per Sean, assuming you have your old version of WSS up-and-running somewhere *and* it’s SharePoint 2010 or newer, you do have the option of unattached database recovery of content. It can use the import/export (PRIME) API to get the data out that you want: [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/administration/restore-content-from-an-unattached-content-database]
