Is this such a difficult question?

You didn't find an answer yourself in that period ? :-)
Two ways to make an ICC profile worthless in two years:
The printer isn't consistent in time and can not be calibrated to the condition at the time the profile was made, printer goes dead and/or will be replaced for other reasons.
The paper varies between batches and the printer can not be calibrated to that variation, the paper is no longer produced, the paper (from one batch !!!) you stored has changed in condition.
So if you go that route you have to make sure you get paper from one batch. Store the paper at 55 % humidity average, sealed polyethylene bags will slow humidity variations within so there may be some variation outside. Long periods of high humidity + high temperature could create mold in gelatine or PVA coating binders.
Low humidities excessive curl. Changing humidity can create waves in the paper that are harder to straighten.
There may be a new even nicer paper that gets your preference.
