I think used by dates on airbags (they used to have roughly 12 or so year dates on them) have been removed now, as they've tested cars with 20 and 30 year old airbags and they've fired fine.
Provided the pyrotechnics are properly sealed when made, there's nothing that should degrade them, at least not for some significantly long time.
I'm not concerned about mine not firing

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
