Mine is 11 years old with no problems yet.
Others don't trust them and replace them as soon as possible. Get an estimate first, the job is fairly simple and there are a lot of those valves in your house so a per/valve price could quickly add up. (2 for toilets, 1 for fridge, 10 for sinks, dishwasher?)
People have mentioned Shark bite valves in the past.
