Im thinking long term , 10-15+ years .

Surely they would wear & need replacing or adjusting ? Any long term issues with chain auto-tension systems ?

not as fool proof as they thing. some engines are well know for chain issues.
chains stretch, can get excessive wear. tensioner that wear out and then wear out the chain.
due to repeated impacts and that chains are not elastic, they can fatigue and snap.
