Hello from a fellow fandom old! I am in the same boat. A lot of my old stuff is either on FF.NET or on Harry Potter/ adultfan.net archives which went down and aren't posted anywhere else.
To upload on A03 is sensible and a record but the stuff is slightly cringey...yet...
I spoke to my dear friend and the advice struck gold with me. She advised me to upload them with no revisions or minimal spelling editing, and just a note saying this was written a long time ago and anything else I wished. My friend noted people still like reading my fic due to bookmarks and so on, so they still hold value.
That touched a cord with me and well, my old fic are still important to me too. They helped me grow and be where I am today.
Also on A03 you can backdate your fic! So I have decided to upload my old fic.
...I hope my ramblings helped put a different perspective on the matter and helps you consider your oprions! :)
