Depends on what you consider a big project. There is always a risk of needing rim/tire work with loaded tires at some point. If it is rusting around the stems, while it is not 100% to say it has a leak, that can be the first sign of a leak. It can be as simple as the valve cores need to be replaced, or a tube could have a bad spot and be seeping, with fluid finding its way out around the stem.
If you want to be sure there is not a problem, your first project would be to have the calcium removed and the tires/tubes dismounted. You would then have the rims cleaned and washed to neutralize any calcium action. Repair the rims as needed, prep and paint inside and out. Remount the tires with new, good quality tubes (don't go cheap). Then fill with the ballast of your choice, if you want/need ballast. Generally, if fixed properly there will be no problems for years to come, unless a tire/rim is damaged in use. JMHO
