It does look pretty healthy. Although I do agree with @Seedstarter that they will survive indoors but not truly thrive.
Now might be a hard time to move them outdoors though especially if you live where it is snowy and freezes consistently. Most varieties can tolerate light frost etc. But if you live where it drops below 30 degrees most of the winter you will need to keep it indoor or else it will sustain major damage.
I have mine outdoors year round and it thrives but I also live in Central CA so temps NEVER dip below 25 degrees and if it does it’s only a day or two.
I do agree that a grow light will be necessary for any tree grown indoors. Fruiting varieties especially require 12 hours a day. My indoor fruits and veggies trees have grow light for 12-16 hours a day. Place a grow light at the top of your tree if you get one they like to grow up toward the light.
But all in all they look very healthy. Ideally you want the leaves to look like the pic on the right. They can droop when in need of water or when being overwatered. Although if you are overwatering the leaves would start to turn a bit yellowish and yours look like a good healthy green. 🪴But some droop will happen as the leaves get larger just from the weight. And with so many trees you might actually produce some avocados although they take up to 13 years to bear fruit. It is fun to think about! 😀 Here’s a photo of mine at 2 years old ❤️

Avocados need direct sunlight and humidity to flourish and to develop healthy leaves. Think about moving your plant outdoors or getting a grow light
