Yeah, chip aging is at max temperature, max current, and worst process corner. And it's nonlinear so running at <10% duty cycle could reduce aging to almost nothing.

Has chip aging finally surpassed thermal cycling as the primary cause of component failure in datacenters?

I don't know but I would guess not. Solder is really weak compared to silicon.
