I need to use Google Android OS for work. If I use a Pixel 4, will it spy on me less than if I use something newer like a Pixel 9?

As others have said, no because Google’s components have very good backward compatibility and will come for your device on its stock OS.
I had other vendors in mind when I first read your question. In a sense, older ones could spy less as a side effect of vendor telemetry servers going dark over the years. Samsung also wasn’t as rampant with their spying back then. But either way, such phones would have been long without any security updates.
