MacBookPro 10.1 stuck on apple logo on Sonoma - is this the end?

I installed Sonoma on my MacBookPro 10.1 over a month ago, initially it worked, then I noticed that bluetooth wasn't working so I reset settings (PRAM/ SMC) and then it worked, since then (that was about 2 weeks ago) the laptop's health deteriorated by the day, it would start flickering green, then die. No overheating no nothing, it would just eventually start flickering and then I would have to restart and it would be back. However, since yesterday, it is stuck on the white apple logo with loading bar stuck at 30%.

Any thoughts what I could do? I am most concerned about some files I worked on for the past days that aren't copied on my external yet, I guess the laptop can be thrown away sadly, any way for me to get passed this logo?

I tried PRAM, SMC, safe mode, I'm always stuck at the same spot with the apple logo - help :(
