Based on our own experience and those of others, we know of no issues with Wilwood boot-less calipers when driven on the street and even in winter/salt environments.
It is good practice to power wash your car frequently in winter, including the calipers. Also, when changing pads, clean everything very thoroughly and do not simply shove the pistons back in when they are dirty. Basic maintenance will result in years of trouble free service.
If you ever need to replace seals, we have seal replacement kits for the 6 piston calipers that run only $15 per caliper.
Found this thread on the Corvette forums that confirms our experience.
