Just to throw in some other datasets to look at:
The US .gov publishes all browser/traffic information in csv/json [1]. The gov.uk publishes similar data [2]. I realize this is centered mainly on people who live in those countries, but it may be helpful to look at other large traffic-getting domains and see similarities and differences to the browser usage on Wikipedia [3].

I think that people using old browsers on desktop, are most surely doing

To be honest, bugging these users means hopefully they'll bug their IT managers to finally get their fucking asses in the 2010s and stop being irresponsible. I won't lose any sleep over annoying them...
However, there's two other groups who would be annoyed/confused by such banners:
- Parents/grandparents who got their Windows XP laptop 12 years ago and
don't know how to upgrade--nor do they care, as long as they can check their e-mail and print pictures :)
- People in lower-income locales for whom upgrading is a cost-prohibitive
endeavor
