I have a 2006 Sprinter I got for $8k with 180k on it. No major problems at all. Not living in my van but for road trip travel it’s been absolutely bullet proof. Reliable as it gets.
If you want a nice build, bite the bullet and get a pro job. It's expensive and slow but unless you're an expert cabinet maker, electric expert, upholstery and propane installation you're gonna have a mess on your hands.
Doing a really quality build DIY can take a year, so you might want to check out van2b, they make a well-regard conversion kits: https://van2b.com/.
All depends on your priorities, skills, wallet and time.

Midnight runs to the campground restroom aren’t fun. A five gallon water tank won’t wash many dishes. How will you cook in the rain? Limiting yourself to developed campgrounds makes you less free.

A mattress, camp stove, and port-a-pottie thrown into the back of a van costs almost nothing. It goes up from there to sky is the limit.

I'm getting ready to do one for a friend, he bought a new hi top long wheel base 4 wheel drive with all of the up fitter options for $64k, which is the total cost including 4 year financing.
He is most interested in off grid, so solar, lithium batteries, may go 24-48 volt system.
