What's the expected life of normal flat panels rads with A) inhibitor in
the system and B) without?

I've got Thermapanels here which I'd been told don't have a long life due
to being made of thin stuff so they warm up quickly. So have used
inhibitor since day one. About 30 years ago. Still fine.

Elder brother with a BG installed system at about the same time with
'standard' pressed steel rads but no inhibitor had the first one start
leaking at about 10 years old. And others later. But he had a 5 star
service contract so that was ok. ;-) Not all of his have been replaced,
but most.
