In 2010, R22 was taken off the market. So you will be lucky to find parts for the old heat pumps. The new EPA approved freon will require everything replaced, because the pressures may be around 5-600 psi. Everything is different. The copper has to be thicker, not thinner.
As for how will a heat pump last, depends on where you live. Say in Florida, the compressor may be used almost year around. If you live in northern states where the summer A/C is less, you will get more years.
If you want a good opinion on how long they last in your area, ask a realitor or a building inspector that works for a realitor.
If you crunch the numbers, replacement cost of heat pump, service calls, the fact you can't use it when temps get really cold, you have to switch over to electric toaster heat, the number hours the compressor is good for, you won't sell me one. Some places, you will need to go geo heat pump if you want them to work.
Heat pumps are a cold heat source too, lucky if the temp is around 85-90.
The cost of my electricity is so cheap, a heat pump isn't worth it. George
