Depends on how you value your own experience and skills. I can assure that if you can market yourself as someone who can add tremendous value working wth legacy codebases, you could be very valuable to a company. However, if that doesn't excite you and you only care about tech stack, then yes you should find something else. However, my personal opinion is NOT to focus on tech stack but find a company/business that you really like working for not because of the code but because of the product/market and other interesting challenges it brings.
So ask yourself: are you not motivated because the codebase is legacy or is it because the team/environment is not giving you challenges that you enjoy ?
There are plenty of shit startups with shiny tech that have terrible environments, not much market fit/business and hardly any security/stability. Do you want to work in such environments ?
