It’s not the length of the term its age and number times the person is returned to office.
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
State legislators couldn’t do worse!
You also might not need term limits. Every state legislator and state grandee would see themselves in that seat, there would’ve plenty of competition for it.

I understand what you’re saying but consider Fetterman. He’s pretty far gone and is going to be there for five more years. Also consider Feinstein whose fitness to serve has been questionable for a long time but she remains in office not being removable until 2024.
Presidents are elected to a four year term. Governors serve four year terms (except for Vermont and New Hampshire which are two years). Two year terms for House reps.
Perhaps we should re-visit the term lengths of senators. It may not solve the problem but a lot can happen to a person’s health and ability to serve over a period of six years. Just saying.

I am down for that. State Leg could not do worse than where we are now, hope is maybe better.
Some Ky “Grandee” would have shuffled off McConnell by now.
