We seem to get about 10,000 hours if the tubes are treated right. Various things can shorten the life: factory defects, shipping treatment, dust, fingerprints, over-bias, difficult loads with high power, no warmup in Standby, that sort of thing. Of course, these are things that affect all power tubes, not just 6AS7Gs.So anyway, once that is all figured the tubes will do 10,000 hours, which is actually typical of a lot of power triodes (that run moderate heat). In practice we have seen people do better and worse.
