with the caveat that I'm not able to dig into the architecture of this site, I'm not hearing anything that sounds like this is a site that's taxing and difficult to host. A vanilla WP site with a few thousand images isn't all that unusual. With the right caching setup, you might get bandwidth limited before you run out of memory or CPU.
(Way back in the day such a site would have left a mark, but probably not in 2024.)
What is it hosted on right now and what's your motivation to look at a VPS? Are you hitting any performance issues or are you just thinking of next steps so you have a solution when the need arises?
BTW, if you're concerned about bandwidth, take a peek at CloudFlare's free service levels. It's not hard to set up and CDNs for the most part require little configuration to get going. You CNAME your www to CloudFlare and then CNAME a special zone used by the CDN to grab assets from. You don't need to move those images. The CDN helps itself to what it thinks it needs.
