I'm a heavy handed player, use mediums, gig 5 nights a week in various conditions and change strings alot.

These things add up to wearing the saddle into slots, wearing the nut slots lower, fret wear, and need for neck tweaks needed.

I inspect and rectifty all these things roughly every three months, often I will swap out nuts and saddles, and make sure I have spares at all times, recrown and level frets, but I don't like doing this and adjust the neck relief.

I'd say it depends on use, conditions and playing style.
