No.

A decent unmanaged switch should 'just run' and teh other thing you
might put there, is a TV VHF distribution amp. That too will 'just ruin'.

My rack only got accessed when I needed to repatch the patch panels or
add a temporary ethernet cable to it directly, having run out of
socketes in the office elsewhere.



My router has run for months without attention but there was a period
when regular resets were necessary.
