I've been running Fedora for ~10 years (switching away from {Net,Free}BSD, I was fed-up to re-invent the wheel and the general poor design of the OS / high inertia of the community), and never rebooted once for "performance reason". My average uptime is in the couple of month, always for hardware / maintenance reason. Even my Windows 10 machines is never rebooted because of performance issue. I don't think I've had much system failure / panics either.
