In all the tens of thousands of rounds I have shot in my life, some of which were the oldest, nastiest, crappiest Mexican tienda reloads around, I have never once had a single fail-to-fire/dud/squib. Ever. And the way I look at it, my favorite ammo for rifle plinking is janky-ass 1960's-1970's milsurp from all over the globe, that has been subjected to god-knows-what conditions for fifty+ years, yet still goes bang without exception every damn time I pull the trigger. So realistically, no, I am not the least bit concerned about the Gold Dots I've had sitting in mags for a couple of years. I have complete faith that they will discharge as expected should the need ever arise.
With that being said, I will agree with the legitimate concern mentioned above regarding bullet setback after repeated chambering. Setback is very much a real occurrence, and is even more pronounced with certain cartridges, such as .357sig. I would not make a habit of repeatedly chambering the same round, even though I believe any potential damage would be minimal, if anything.
