I just recently done a hardware upgrade on a homelab machine that had been on running proxmox for 2years with no downtime.
I never had a reason to shut it off since it was running important vms. Fans all had filters do cleaning was done while machine was running. And because of dual PSUs. UPS battery changes were easy to do too without needing downtime
