It's all good. As late as '98, Bianchi was doing "throwback" with the Trofeo.
Quality varies, but if a nice steel bike with decent components can be had, then have at it, old or new.

It's a global supply world now. If high end TdF frames can be made about anywhere, frames for those of us in the unwashed masses can, also. I met a lady from Colombia the other day; and she's looking for a Canopus for me.

I still meet folks who decry Asian-made products. They should check the source of their pacemakers, or the alerts when they've fallen and can't get up, or the fuel injectors and circuit boards on the ambulance that takes them to urgently needed medical care.

On the other hand, we may soon find out how good Pakistani-N Korean nuclear technology is.
