Yes, the silicone will degrade if you don't look after it, also don't leave the elbows bent all the way for more than 24 hours. But with care they will last for years. If you pose them frequently then you can wash them with warm soapy water if they get dirty.
The only thing you do need to be careful of is clothing dyes. You can pre-treat clothing with soapy water and white vinegar to remove excess dye and use a dye setter if you're really concerned.
Don't be afraid to buy TBLeague bodies. But make sure they're not Jiaou dolls. Those things break down after about a year because of the quality of the silicone.
