I keep a few magazines permanently loaded with hollow points for self defense. Since I'm (hopefully) never going to fire these, do I need to concern myself with the springs wearing out from being perpetually under tension? Along that line, should I cycle out ammunition after a certain period of time if it isn't dirty? e.g. carry weapons can accumulate lint and whatnot, but nightstand or desk guns should stay pristine indefinitely.

old wives tale. the springs will last at least 20 years if not forever. about the same as leaf springs in your truck

Is that why I had to reforge my springs after 15 years of actual use? Driving on the street sure they last a long time. Drive off road with regularity and they don't last for shit.

Luckily a local blacksmith was able to reforge for cheaper than buying new, and it supported a local business.
