I just migrated my Proxmox server to newish hardware, so its uptime now is only about two weeks.
In general the only time I restart it is when a new kernel comes down. So that could be uptime from a month to several months. I never restart it just because, it's only when an update requires it.
Proxmox sits on an HP workstation with a Xeon processor and ECC memory, so it's pretty reliable. Although it does not have redundant power supplies or the like.
All of my laptops and towers and Unifi router/ WAPs get restarted for updates and that's it.
The longest uptime I personally have ever seen in my career as an IT professional was in a customer's data center when my company took over their IT services. This was many many years ago. They had a Novell Netware server that had an uptime of over 10 years... In a PRODUCTION environment. The company's representative stated that they were afraid of rebooting it because they didn't think it would come back up. That became one of my company's projects to replace it, which we did. I wasn't a part of that specific activity, but a friend of mine was as he was Novell certified. Once everything was migrated, he attempted to reboot the machine just to see if it would...
The damn thing restarted like a champ. It came back up normally with no issues. Novell Netware could probably run on a rock as long as it had enough silica content.
