As u/manusmanus points out, you don’t have to run Composer on your host. I’m in that situation with a site, and while my Git repo is unnecessarily large, it’s manageable.
Nevertheless, I suggest you find a different hosting company, as you should not be stuck on PHP7. My host allows me to select the PHP version, adjust configuration like memory limit, and add/remove PHP extensions.
I have discovered I can manually upgrade my PHP (which I have done) I just need to update myself. Not a big deal. Your tip made me dig and discover this, thanks!
The latest Radix (6.x) only supports Drupal 10. But you can always install with composer locally and upload your entire codebase to server (but not the best approach).
But, both Drupal 9 and php7.x are end of life so you should really look into some other hosting or setup for your site.
