Nah, these systems are simple and incredibly well documented. A ton of people have operated them, too. They'll be fine.

I'd expect something like that to happen to a university cubesat lol.

We can only hope that because they're so well documented, we can work around any "dead hardware" or "dead media" issue. Like, I hope the Voyager manual doesn't say "see disk 2 for firmware", and disk 2 has turned to dust 10 years ago.
