I’ve had good luck running pi’s for years between (power fail) reboots.
One thing though - I don’t think any of my pi’s run x windows, I think they’re all console mode. I get the feeling that they do fewer writes in general this way, but I don’t really know. Anecdotally, I had a pi that ran x that I was experimenting with, and after a couple of months found it locked up/dead to the network. A reboot brought it back fine, but I unplugged it a few days after that and haven’t been using it.
