Is it detrimental for NAS drives to be powered up but not frequently in use? (zerobytes.monster)

My server has some WD Reds and I recently bought some Ironwolf to replace them. The server is always on but I only seldom have any disk traffic (mainly syncing my phone to the machine as backups).

Is this infrequent use (long-term data storage) negatively affecting the performance or lifespan of the NAS drives?
