I am going to play devils advocate here. Before anything though I want to say I have respect for De Rossi for going to end his career at a place with genuine history instead of chasing the money or a "retirement lifestyle" per se. So good on him.

As for the move itself, Boca just sold Barrios and soon Nandez who provided high work rate and legs in the midfield. De Rossi won't have that as a replacement. His technical quality could perhaps provide something especially at this level, but this is not the MLS or China. The level is much higher in Argentina.

So in conclusion, I think he won't be horrible but I don't think he will be a top player either. At least when you compare to the successes that were Wilmar Barrios and Nahitan Nandez. He's a marquee signing for sure though. Again, I have respect for De Rossi for chasing a club with genuine history and perhaps he believes he can perform well, which he certainly can. What I've said above is just my opinion and prediction.
