Thank you - I hadn't looked that close! I'm torn because I want to make this AND the strawberry sorbet (river cafe) for a pot luck and don't have 2 ice cream makers!
The recipe author's guidance in step 6 gives a hint: there's a steady and noticeable decline in freshness after the third day.
My guess is that after 5-7 days, it will resemble a store-bought product more than something freshly homemade.
Would I eat week old homemade ice cream? Absolutely.
Would I serve it to guests? Depends on the guest but yes to most.
Would I expect them to be wowed by week old ice cream? Realistically no.
Would I enter it into a week-old juried competition? No, I wouldn't.
Of course, everyone has different ideas on what is good quality and what isn't so it's really up to you to test it yourself and decide if the end result will be satisfactory for those who will be at your dinner table.

I would still try to make them as close to the event as possible. The sorbet two evenings before, the ice cream the night before.
Peaches have a more delicate and ephemeral perfume than strawberries as well in my opinion. But that's just me...
