It certainly wouldn't hurt anything if you reboot them, but hardly seems necessary if they're stable and patched to current levels. I had a RedHat 7.3 box that was up for several years. It finally rebooted when there was some maintenance in that wing of the datacenter that required them to interrupt power for a few minutes. Cheers,
