You can probably expect GOS support as long as Google supports the device, that is the main limitation. For the newer Pixels that is promised to be 7 years after release.
Going by this table, Pixel 6 is currently the oldest to get full GOS updates
That matches Google’s software support
Question is how “real” that support is - firmware updates matter and depend mostly on the chip manufacturer’s support.
