Since we use Azure Sentinel and it relies upon aggregating data into a Log Analytics workspace, what will the impact be upon Sentinel (if any) when the Log Analytics agent is retired?
This is just the VM agent that needs to be replaced. If you are monitoring virtual machines with Azure Sentinel then you need to replace the log analytics agent with the azure monitor agent on each of the VMs. Log Analytics itself is not affected by this.

The Azure Monitor Agent is replacing the Log Analytics Agent for Azure Monitor, Azure Sentinel and Azure Security Center. The Azure Monitor Agent is generally available for Azure Monitor, and in private preview for Azure Sentinel and Azure Security Center at present. For more details refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/azure-monitor-agent-overview?tabs=PowerShellWindows#supported-services-and-features
The Log Analytics Agent on VMs connected to a Log Analytics workspace used for Sentinel should be replaced with the Azure Monitor Agent before it is retired.
