My personal opinion, for what it's worth, is that it's no worse than keeping any all aluminum plane parked outside. The fabric will deteriorate faster outdoors than if it's hangared, but it should still be good for around 15 years. Put Razor Back fabric on next time, and it'll last forever outside. My Coupe is outdoors, and the only problem I have is that I got some rain water in the right wing tank.
