I replaced my 2013 transmission that had the known bearing issue from the 2013-2015 models around the same mileage point (140,000) in 2020. I sourced a low mileage 2016+ transmission from a C-Max or Fusion Hybrid (NOT Energi) and had a shop replace it, with my assistance. Cost around $3000 total. I have 190,000 miles on mine now, value of my car is likely closer to $4000 now. I don’t treat mine as well as others but it gets all the required maintenance and doesn’t show signs of stopping. Fuel mileage is suffering due to battery age but it’s still over 37mpg (10-15% loss) and even then the engine is pretty efficient on its own compared to late model sedans. Backup camera has died. Trim is starting to show its age. If you plan on driving it until it stops working then even a $7000 bill seems more reasonable than a newer vehicle and you can get a good amount more years out of it.
