My understanding is they don’t degrade like low-earth orbit but still require station keeping to maintain their precise location, so as they run out of fuel they get moved to a “graveyard” orbit that’s out of the way. At much larger time scales I think the orbits can still get unstable but I don’t think earth’s atmosphere contributes much to that.

it’s fine if they shift a bit, as long as they stay in orbit.
