Batteries degrade with age too. It would probably have to be cycled 10 times a day to get that many cycles.

I could see that happening if these are used in gas hybrid cars, or ev taxis, or maybe grid scale energy buffering

They may work for non plug in hybrids, which have quite small batteries that cycle a lot, but the energy density is far too low for full EV vehicles.

Not likely, these are big and heavy and will likely be industrial.

... Sodium Ion are already being sold in EVs.

I had thought this maker had lower energy to weight density than the JAC, but I stand corrected.
