You have to plug them in every so often to refresh I believe.
Yes. And access all the used block for some firmware (some won't do

What do you
guys think of the "archive-ness" of current solid state
devices? M.2, NVMe, SSD, or even USB thumb sticks? A friend proposed
that when one of those starts to go bad, any kind of partial data
recovery
becomes difficult - but any more difficult than
the old traditional
magnetic media?
I thought Flash could only hold the data in them X amount of years until
the junctions discharge or whatever? It's less permanent than decent
quality optical or pro magnetic media?
