My Shimano 10spd clutches have worked perfectly fine for many years with only small tension adjustments needed, and they share the same basic design. I think something may have changed in the sealing on the back plate, making newer ones a bit more susceptible. My 11spd clutch needs this service after 2 solid years of all-weather/conditions performance.
