For this temperature range my go to is a Sportful Fiandre Light No Rain SS jersey. Bright orange colour. Holds off the rain well and doesn't overheat. Usually take a gilet in the back pocket just in case. Works for me down to about 6-7 with a decent base layer and paired with No Rain arm warmers. I do run fairly hot though, always overheat in a Gabba!

The time has come to replace my (original) short sleeve Gabba, which must be, dunno, 8 years old or so. It still works but it’s stained, marked and torn.
I have a castelli alpha jersey for colder days <7 degrees say, and classic rapha soft shell for never. So I use the gabba in 7-14 degree temps, either short fast rides in rain or longer rides in changeable conditions and drizzle. Any warmer and I’m probably just sticking a light gilet over a normal jersey, and for long rides in constant rain, I’ve an equally vintage Assos race cape.
Short sleeves, bright colour. Breathable and warm when wet is much more important than waterproof
Should I be buying a perfecto?
