Last I heard estimated FF electrode lifetime was about a month, revised downwards from an earlier estimate of about 3 months.

Given electrode recycling, wear isn’t expected to be a big impactor on cost or performance unless the electrode lifetime gets a lot shorter is than currently thought. An apt comparison would be the wear and maintenance costs of a gas turbine generator and associated gear… and that’s a comparison that the turbine just can’t win.
