I don't know if the adhesive will weaken after installng an item, but the package has no expiration date.
Our long mirrors are resting on skirting board, but strips hold it to the wall.
We have plastered walls, vinyl emulsion paint, and adhesion is good.
We buy strips as required, never had any stored for any length of time, so not aware of shelf life.
Same as you, would not use with really heavy framed pics, or orange peel finish.
We have never had a problem with them.
