Having issues with wp_postmeta and wp_usermeta tables too big

We’ve got a WP+woocommerce site that is over 8 years old. The site has over 60,000 users and a similar number of orders. The wp_postmeta has over 4,000,000 records and wp_usermeta has over 1,500,000. This is causing all kinds of issues because the site was not updated regularly. The site wants to update the DB and it crashes every time, likely because of these tables.

Any ideas?
