I have not had to replace a spoke since the 1980s. I still carry them, but they can be the least convenient item you carry for access. For most people, the spokes will last as long as the bike.
I wrap a piece of electrical tape around my seatpost about 5mm above the frame to tell me where teh post goes. I use that gap of about 5mm so that can easily see if the seatpost slid down, no gap means it moved.
