I still have an XP PC which is used solely for digitising analogue
videotapes to MPG, because its capture card (which isn't supported by later
versions of Windows) gives much better results than more modern USB
adaptors. But I don't connect it to the internet and I only transfer data
(MPG files) via memory stick, so the chances of it becoming infected are
infinitesimal.

Otherwise, yes, XP is too risky nowadays.

It's fine for offline usage.
