Is it a durability concern? I'm thinking of putting some heavy duty grease if it is not a concern for longevity/wear/durability.

Yeah that’s really strange that even the updated part # become damaged after just 2 years.
Do you keep the dust covers attached to the top hat?
Dry steering (steering while not moving) could put stress on those bearings as well as your steering rack.
The top hat bearing is not only responsible for allowing the strut to spin but it also absorbs bumps hardcore that don’t get absorbed by the rubber.
