I'm wanting to cover over my home's old solid wood fascia and soffit probably with aluminum fascia and vinyl soffit. There's an option to have either vented or unvented soffit. Since my current soffit doesn't factor into my attic's ventilation, does vented soffit provide any benefits to the wood/structure underneath?

There would be no benefit other than aesthetic if you are matching the design of another part of your house. The common strategy is to cut out a strip of the plywood soffit before installing the vented aluminum soffit. This would allow you to use the airflow in your attic ventilation.
