I have worked in an industrial environment for many years. On the plant floor of an automotive parts plant, we installed Panduit jacks in open surface mount boxes over 5 years ago. Oily, high humidity in summer, dry winters, etc. Most of the orginal 500 are still in use. I can't imagine it is much better than a NEMA 3 box would be.
I have 2 NEMA 3 boxes that have been out for 10 months now with no problems. I know that is not long term, but gives you something to start from.
