But what about those kids in TOS who all joined a cult and murdered their parents for fun or something?

I think it depends. Overall, I think most of Star Trek isn't solarpunk, but the version of earth depicted in it very much is.
Was about to cite TNG Tech Manual as well - although that also said that holodeck characters’ bodies were replicated meat puppets, which I think they didn’t stick with.
At least the OG 1701 got a good lifespan - it was no Miranda, but 40 years is great for an Enterprise.
The decommissioning of the A seemed a bit premature, though, considering it was a new ship that was relatively salvageable. Maybe its battle damage was just too much and that’s why it was given to the museum. Alternatively, the A was originally a different Constitution class undergoing a refit was was already quite old by Undiscovered country.
There’s a good chance the B lasted a long time too, though there’s no canon source to its demise, only that it’s not in the fleet museum.
Ironically, the Cerritos is on 4 shifts, based one the existence of delta shift.
