I use the browser extension 'auto tab discard', have 16GB RAM (32GB on my desktop) and my uptime is usually several months before I reboot for a kernel update, but I can usually go at least half a year without any issues. I think I'm literally more likely to accidentally press my deskop's power button than to have any kind of software issue that forces me to reboot.

I do turn it off via hibernation, though. I'm not an Umweltsau.
