They definitely won't last as long as steel...
Jonny, based on how much testing do you make that statement?
Regarding my experience with how long they will last...
I've run probably 3,000 or more rounds through the few polymer Rimz clips that I have, and they are showing no signs of undue wear, loosening, failing to hold the rounds in the clips, etc.
That's as good, or better, than I ever got out of any of my steel moon clips.

Mr. Irwin,
I have a lot of respect for your opinions in the many posts I've read on this forum. That's why I have to ask about the above. I bought 25 of the Rimz and the first time I tried taking the empties out of the clip about 1/3 of them broke off at least one the little "Y" shaped ends. I have steel full moon clips that have been reloaded dozens and dozens of time when I competed in revolver practical matches for two years. Yea, if you stepped on one it would probably bend but just dropping them on the ground seldom even bent one.
Guess this is another case of "Fords vs Chevys". Or, I just got a really bad batch of the Rimz.
