No expert on the matter but based on some limited research I would buy a slightly older odyssey or sienna. Also if you consider the japanese vans have some resale even when heavily used the overall cost of ownership difference isnt that much.
we have a 13 odyssey ex-L bought with 30k miles in 2018 from carmax for 24k. It has been a pretty good vehicle but not perfect, currently at 120k miles.
Let me think what I have done to it: New alternator recently, new cooling fan recently, serpantine belt tensioner, timing belt tensioner, tie rod ends on one side though my wife may have hit a curb. I also had to do the timing belt service at around 100k.
Did these items myself parts are pretty reasonable and mostly easy to work on. Probably not unreasonable for a 120k mile vehicle that sits and idles a ton in carpool pick up lanes.
Utility and useability have been phenomenal, superbly engineered vehicle from that stand point.
