Here is my opinion:
If there is no refreshes there is less work on a hardware side, and if there is less work, screen will have longer lifespan. Even screen lifetime is calculated in screen refreshes for example declared lifetime of E-ink Pearl Screen is equal to 10 million screen updates.
Other then killing it physically it's hard to make it lose contrast or have some work-related damage. There could be some burst "capsules" on the eInk screen but they are 110% physically created.
The 1st generation eInk screens did fade after some time(2-3weeks) but only to a specific condition where their performance stabilized and after that fade, it had no more changes over time.
