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.

There have been threads about bathroom mirror falling off the wall. They were all held with commercial grade adhesive applied in multiple spots on the back of the mirror. No other fasteners were used except they may have been resting on the top of the backsplash.
The consensus was to put up mechanical clips to hold them from falling when the glue fails.
I interpret that as never rely on glue alone to hold something heavy, and especially if it can cause damage or injure me if it falls, or becoming broken would not be wanted.
