What people? What supplies? It would be parked there, noone would be visiting any time soon.
> And the elephant in the room: How can this project guarantee the safety of the station long term? We already know about cracks appearing and Mir also decayed over time.
Nothing is guaranteed, but a lump of unpressurized metal in a high orbit wouldn't face many issues.
> Mir also decayed over time.
Orbital decay can be ignored for objects high enough.
