Whether guitars like this are objectively ‘worth’ what they tend to sell for, is a different question. Something newer (and cheaper) is almost always better, in my experience.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
That said, I think any Strat over 3.5kg is too heavy for my preferences.
Unless you are going to get it for an exceptionally low price where you know that you could make a profit by selling it at an attractive price if it does prove too heavy, I would avoid it.

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
Weight can be compensated for to some extent with a broad and/or padded strap.
That's before you consider how ugly the headstock is on them.
Really, it wouldn't bother me if all else was to my liking.
I've never actually asked about a guitar's weight when buying.
Guitar players are frail old buggers
No doubt.
I bet though, like most things guitar, people probably wouldn't really notice unless they were told.
If I was gigging all the time I'd maybe think differently about weight right enough.
