For using Kodi and installing multiple channels, for streaming all different kinds of content, would you recommend?
I will be using this in Italy to watch content in australia.
I'd prefer something that didn't get outdated to ofast.
Hi, what sort of TV exactly ?

If it's IPTV streaming from Australia from the Public Broadcasters using Kodi Addons, then you need a device that preferably supports Kodi dynamic refresh switching so you can watch 25fps or 25i TV and then watch 24p Movies and have everything all nicely Synced up for smooth video playback.

All LibreELEC Kodi devices can do such auto refresh switching.

Be aware Channel 7 and Channel 9 in Australia have forced, via threatening letters the (legal) IPTV Kodi (Aussie) Addons developer to withdraw support for those two freely available TV channels.
Only the Apple TV 4/4K has comprehensive Catchup Oz TV Apps support.

The Best Bang for the buck at the moment are the Gigabit Ethernet equipped AMLogic S912 boxes like the Tanix TX92 / Vorke Z6 or Beelink GT1 etc, and then you run LibreELEC Kodi Krypton on them and also use some sort of responsive Mini dongle WiFi remote as detailed in this post:

Also be aware LE Kodi AMLogic S912 support will stop at Kodi v18 Leia and go no further unless alternate GPU video drivers for Kodi's user interface rendering can be found. That LE S912 combo plays basically anything you throw at them now anyway and is pretty snappy with a wee GPU GHz tickle

Support past LE Kodi Leia, then your best best is a Gigabit equipped AMLogic S905D box like a Vero 4K+ or a MECOOL K1 Pro.

Otherwise you are talking Android Kodi devices that will not be as flexible vs LE Kodi.
