It's not a great choice of motherboard. I'd pick the ASRock B550M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4 one from PCPartPicker or the MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI model from PCPartPicker.
The chipset remains functional. However, the system is quite outdated, making it unlikely to receive a new CPU within the next two years. If you're satisfied with its current capabilities and don’t intend to upgrade soon, there are no objections to keeping it.
The B550 chipset is good, stable chipset. If you want to make a system with a socket AM4 CPU then it's good choice. The actual motherboard, it depends on your needs and the price.... It's a really budget motherboard, with similar components like the ones used on boards with cheaper more basic chipsets like A520 chipset. You have an old onboard audio chip, you have only gigabit ethernet, you don't have usb type c on the back, no usb 10gbps on the back or front, you don't have usb 10gbps header for front panel... it's a really barebones motherboard. Personally I would like to see at least a pci-e x4 slot at the bottom (so that it won't be blocked by a thick video card), just in case I may need to add something in the future. I would also like to have at least a 10gbps USB connector. My opinion is that for maybe a few dollars or euro more, you would find a much more feature packed motherboard. If you say your country or post some links to online stores you can buy from and your budget, I or others may be able to suggest better motherboards for the budget you have.
