I'm currently dealing with a problem regarding Azure quotas, as it indicates that my region has 0 B family vCPUs available. Because of this, I've decided to switch to the D series. I'm planning to use Standard_D2_v4 for my jumpbox, Standard_D2as_v4 for the UAT VM, and Standard_D4as_v4 for the production VM. My question is whether these sizes are appropriate for running my project workloads!

The B family is being retired, so I can't say if it would fit your needs without knowing what your workloads actually are. Just a heads-up, only the B series v1 is going away, not the v2.
Just to clarify, only v1 of the B series is getting retired.
Right! The B v2 series is still active, plus B v1's retirement is slated for 2028. You can check the details in the migration guide.
Yes, it can work, but keep in mind that D series instances might be pricier than the B series. I'd recommend checking out azureprice.net for a quick cost comparison, and if your current region is full, consider using a different one.
The cost is manageable for me at around $250, but I really want to get a sense of performance and suitability.
This is a kind of startup project I'm working on.
