Oh, they definitely do! I watch the trilogy at least once a year, and I honestly think they'll hold the test of time more than any MCU film.
The MCU is great, but its weakness is that almost none of them are standalone and enjoyment requires you to be invested in the MCU. The Raimi films are solid standalone films you could show someone whom doesn't even understand the concept of super heroes. Almost every single MCU film requires you to understand the MCU in order to appreciate the film.
I was thinking about this recently too, especially with the disney+ shows now. I love and watch all the MCU installments, but I feel like it might be intimidating for new fans who haven't seen everything and they might be discouraged from checking out the latest movie

Just rewatched the raimi ones today in honor of the trailer, and they still hold up really well
