Rocket propellant life is shorter than that. From what I know of the Russians', its about 10 years. You could already see PLAN phasing out Shtil missiles that were bought in the 2000s, which is a good reason why they are changing the Sovremennys to HHQ-16. You can also see the gradual phase out of the Moskits, even if that uses jet fuel (supplied from Russia and stored somewhere? Not using Chinese fuels?)

10 years for a manufacturer guaranteed shelf life sounds about right for a solid-fueled missile.

I see the SM-1 and Rapier missiles were rated at 8 years previously.

But with additional ongoing testing, missiles can be used beyond the manufacturer guarantee. See below

Army researchers extend missile system shelf life

Due to the success of the program, the average shelf life for missile systems has been extended from 7.9 to 22.6 years.

Its likely that after testing, the Shtils would still be depleted. Some still accepted others not. The remaining ones will be reserved for the other two Sovremennys 138 and 139, and the 052B 169 Wuhan, until they too are upgraded or replaced.
