life of the stock clutch assist mechanism should be measured in hours 
on the ecu lol. typically, it's the accumulator that goes first, which puts added stress onto the slave etc etc. which is why everyone recommends r&r'ing them at the same time. since they tend to fail comcomitantly. they are a pita, but just part of the joy

Not in my opinion. The best way to fix this is to replace the accumulator and slave cylinder if that is what is going on in the OP's case.

I'm waiting for a first hand diagnosis. I've get no other leaking areas so I have no backflow issues. My clutch pedal is almost impossible to push.
I'm going to stick with stock clutch feel and not mess with GT2 conversion.

My slave / accumulator failed too, I just replaced with like components forgoing the GT2 conversion. My wife who likes fast cars drives the 911 often and she's quite thin (because I drive a 911) so the GT2 conversion wasn't that appealing to me. I don't have any issues with the stock clutch feeling.

Just to update the thread, my issue just happened to be my accumulator. In fact, it was just the green O-ring around the accumulator that went out causing the leak. Although the pre diagnosis predicted doom gloom....somehow the repair gods were looking down on me this time, lol. You just never know until you get the car on the lift and in good trustworthy hands. Thanks to Sambot for helping me out as usual!
