What would the prime tails think about modern tails?
Interesting...
Well, anon, I'll be real with you. From what I've gathered thus far, Modern Tails' characterization is inconsistent at best, so I think it would depend upon which game Prime!Tails gets to know Modern Tails from.
For example, I think if we look at Sonic Adventure Tails, given the fact that Prime does incorporate games canon into its timeline (despite the confirmation that it DOES take place within the games timeline, with the inconsistencies that also poses with timeline stuff and characterization I think it's more helpful to analyze what games canon it clearly pulls from to form its own canon) Prime!Tails would see himself in this version of Modern Tails. Sonic Adventure Era version of Modern Tails strikes me as a plausible younger version of Prime!Tails if you only look at Prime itself and don't consider that Prime is meant to fit within games canon.
Likewise, if Prime Tails looked from SA era Tails, to Sonic Boom Tails, to Sonic Lost World Tails, to Sonic Forces Tails, and then to Sonic Frontiers Tails, I think the inconsistencies in characterization would also probably confuse him a bit (basically, "if these are all 'modern Tails' why are they so different in how they act or how independent they are?"). I think Prime!Tails can absolutely understand any given version of Modern!Tails' wish to be able to be as strong as Sonic and stand on his own. I get the vibe from Prime!Tails (especially compared to Nine) that he is a valued part of the team and can pull his own weight fighting, but that he isn't as effective as Sonic on his own (unlike Nine, who had to both learn to be effective in combat AND in strategic planning). So, to me, Prime!Tails is in sort of this in between phase. He can keep up with Sonic, he can fight on the front lines with others, he can sit back and play strategist or give advice, and he builds tools and fixes the Tornado, but (either perhaps from settling into his current role for so long or from coming this far only to stagnate) he isn't quite to the level of hero who can work alone and at Sonic's side effectively. In this way, I think he can understand how SA1/SA2 era and Sonic Frontiers Era Tails feel.
So...I guess my verdict is this. Prime!Tails would be simultaneously confused by the inconsistencies in characterization, but I think he'd actively try to sympathize with the versions of Modern Tails (either by relating to them with his past or his present as well as he can). With that being said, though, we unfortunately didn't get to see much of Prime!Tails in Sonic Prime Canon, so I think I could have a more solid answer if we perhaps knew more about him.

The Tails Squad find out that they can bring back "Souvenirs" from the games they went to (Basically anything they can hold onto/fit into a bag/some form of storage before going back to their world)
They immediately go to loot games like RaC, several RPG's, and Minecraft
And to think it all started when Sails forgot he was holding some random sword from an open world game they went to.
JFJDJEHCJGJFI YESSS!
The Squad would be bringing overpowered artifacts and weapons when they battle someone. Bringing guns to a fist fight.
____________
When they grounded from tech and get bored, they start LARPing with actual magic infused stuff. One of their friends asks to join and gets shocked to the core when those things work and now one of them has a chicken head (yes I'm stealing from TMNT SHHHH!)
____________
Sonic sees a very familiar weapon and promptly freezes.
"Tails, Tails, where did you find Excalibur? TAILS?!"
_____________
*IDW Tails and Modern playing some futuristic action games on console or something*
"Such a cool gadget."
"I wish I had it."
"Same."
"..."
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
The two foxes grin at each other. 15 minutes later, the so called gadget is missing and npcs are freaking out
_____________
"Is that the golden apple?"
"No."
"Tails."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." *Crunch*
_____________
Ali and the Forty Thieves
Aka SatSR Tails and his counterparts pilaging videogames for cool artifacts. They have a secret storage 'cave' for the treasure under their collective hangout lab
____________
Like mysterious cottages in the woods where you can get magic stuff or whatever, the Squad now has potions. From Minecraft. They craft it and then take it. Menaces. Absolute menaces.
Tails totally did not spike Sonic's chilidogs once with the slowness potion to win a race against him nuh uh no sir.
_____________
Random videogame protag: "Wait- where did my staff go?!"
Meanwhile, evil cackles and magic explosions occur 3 dimensions away.
______________
Oh hey look, freshly cooked lovely delicious meals and snacks from those cooking games.
_____________
Something happens in Modern's world and they need a very particular vehicle very quick, no time to build it, need it NOW quick. All the friends freaking out over this and Tails goes, "Don't worry I got this"
He fiddles with Miles Electric and within 5 minutes, a hanger that had stood empty an hour ago opens to reveal the exact vehicle they needed, Boom giving them a casual wave as he drives it.
He stole it from GTA
____________
Every object in games that can be grabbed or picked up by the player, can be brought back with them.
Now some crucial clues and keys from those point and click mystery games are missing so nobody could break their high score
_____________
Not Nine and Tails pulling a heist on Octavius and Spidey to steal the Iron Spider-Man suit and those tentacles for Halloween costumes
______________
GUN's systems go haywire with warning of unknown unlicensed unverified spacecrafts and rockets and shuttles and satellites appearing out of nowhere all of a sudden and the entire HQ freaking out when two get launched while giving off separate and opposite but very similar mirror like tragectories.
Team Dark goes to investigate and finds that Classic and OVA got carried away playing Space Flight Simulator
__________
There are so many fun things that can be done with this idea. Gamers, take it away!
