If I get the above cpu does the delidding shorten its lifespan?

I intend to put it in an asus maximus x hero with a noctua nh-d15 and the case will be fractle define design r6

Short answer, no.

It anything, it would probably extend the life assuming it’s done right.

Provided it survives delidding, no.

If delidding means it's running cooler it should extend it's workable life.
