I think it helps a flash that is in long-term storage to be taken out and cycled a few times, every now and then.

That matches what I've been told, since the late '60s or early '70s. And what I've always done. In addition, if a flash has been stored for a long time, I was taught to fire off half a dozen full power flashes, allowing full recycle in between each, to "re-form" the capacitor.
