Don't know about "all EOL", but the M5, M2, M3 are very old.

It is worth knowing that Ubiquiti usually does management networking on
a different subnet than end-users have access, so even getting to the
management interface demands a wired connection on that other subnet.
Unless the setup crew wasn't doing the normal setup.  With physical
access, all bets are off.
