I inquired with the screen printer on shelf life, and I could not get definitive information, but I can offer this:
The NOS stripes maintained their integrity for 40 years. As you know from my rants on here the thing that affects the stripes most from age is the backing paper and transfer paper. These new stripes will be produced on 'cast' vinyl vs. a less quality 'calendered' vinyl. The materials made today would have to be equal or better than the material the original stripes were produced on back in the day.
So, I believe the shelf life will only be limited by the transfer paper's life, and as long as stored flat in a cool dry location, they should last for years.

For the black/white stripes for a blue TA I'm at 20 sets so far and one custom order (hood and bird only).
The letters are ready
Stripes are scheduled for production next week, week of April 16.
During production next week we will also be producing blue/black gradient proofs.

I reached out to PY. I spoke to Mike? He indicated he would have someone get back to me, but I haven't heard back. If anyone knows someone that knows someone, I would appreciate a little help making contact with someone there.
