no; you can build a much more powerful device with a $140 APU2 system board with an x86 chip and customize it far more than a factory taiwanese spyware router:

Anything you build will burn 5x more electricity than a COTS specialized box.

a pcengines apu2 system board runs at around 50C during moderately-intense home network operations, which isn't bad as far as it goes.

Only if you run LAN parties with like 20 people in your basement, bro. Or run a small business with as many employees.

I have DSL and watch netflix, cruise the internet, and watch youtube/pornhub on my tablet. Should I upgrade to a newer router? Mine is 10 years old.

It depends on your internet speed. If you aren't taking advantage of the speed they are sending your way, you should. If you are at like 100mbps, don't worry about it.
