My TV is from 2016 (XBR-43X800D), comes with integrated Netflix and Chromecast, among other apps. While some aspects of its menus can be laggy at times (it's an Android TV), those apps work pretty much flawlessly on it.

Not all TV's are equal sadly. Or are as modern as yours. Majority of TV's sold are cheaper models, which have corners cut. *Looks at Kogan.*
Sony is using a Mediatek chip in your TV derived from ARM A53 running under Android 6.
Certainly allot better than older Smart TV's. Still pretty garbage.

Eventually, you will no longer get updates or support and you might even loose some apps completely, give your TV another year and see how you go.

Plus, I would rather a dedicated box handle all the processing, less input lag that way.

It mighy not get endless updates, but I'm pretty sure Netflix, youtube and Chromecast are still going to work good two years from now.

In any case, the XBR 43X800D is an "entry level" High end TV. It is feature packed, even if it doesn't reach the highest recommanded specs for HRD 10 (which has a brightness of 1000 nits, it's at roughly 400).  My only regret with my purchase, is that Dynamic HDR is coming, and I don't think my TV will be updated to accept it. :/
