I can totally still read my 35+ years old Workbench disks, which have been booted from hundreds of times. It's amazing, really.

That said, I've created images of the important diskettes from my youth, so I still have them even when the media eventually fail.

Anecdotally, I've had better luck reading Amiga and ST floppies from the 80s and 90s than floppies from the 2000s. I'm guessing disk quality took a nosedive somewhere around 2000..?
