You forget that there is a wealth of empirical evidence. There are tens of thousands of older cars out there: in the Netherlands alone about 30.000 2013-2014 ones. None of these dire predictions have come to pass.

My car has been driven for 130.000 km and has been charged to "full" twice every working day for 5 years. I guess that of those 130.000  not more than 30.000 were uncharged motorway kms, the rest mainly EV Even then I usually drive the motorway with the charge button pressed. The battery is at about 80% SOH, the range at about 85%. That is a completely normal state for cars of that vintage.

The charge is indeed stopped automatically well below max charge by the charging algorithm.

It is not for nothing that Mitsubishi gives an 8 year warranty on the battery.
