I don't think we have specified a limit, but given we still support upgrading from older versions of leap you should be thinking in terms of years rather then days or weeks we are normally pretty slow at removing code needed to migrate from packaging.
That is correct. Basically you should think about the risk of upgrade problems introduced that can not be easily fixed and tests. There is one openQA test that is testing just the upgrade from the previous TW snapshot to the current one plus upgrade tests from many older versions, e.g. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/latest?test=update_13.1-gnome&arch=x86_64& machine=64bit&version=Tumbleweed&flavor=DVD&distri=opensuse for an upgrade test from openSUSE 13.1 to current Tumbleweed. Just recently the upgrade tests from openSUSE 12.X were removed because they were too hard to maintain from the test perspective but it should still work with just minor conflicts that need to be resolved by hand.
From my personal experience with hardware that is only randomly used - update cycles of a year have not caused problems so far when updating TW to TW.
