Agreed, for sure. I think there is some real magic to be found as the adventuring party progresses towards fully Ship-of-Theseus-ing itself—it's happened in a few of my naval campaigns, where the crew has experienced 100% turnover from the original lineup, but the crew as a whole continues to maintain its own distinct identity inherited from their past characters.
I think it's even cooler when this happens in a West Marches or open-table style of game, where there can be turnover not only in characters but also in players. Seeing what knowledge and advice gets shared and filtered down over the months and years I think can be super cool and rewarding.
