Or is old fuel prone to clogging injectors? I’ve got a full set I’ll be installing soon along with TA, and other components to refresh the engine as iota at 100,000.

I don't know about gasoline, but in diesel engines here in Brazil, due to bio-diesel dilution getting greater overtime, we are having trouble with some engines due to sludge formation (not dirt exactly, but kind of a separation of substances in the diesel, oxidation of the fuel itself). Not in months, but in days.
People are solving that problem here by using diesel stabilizers like Almax (VW).
About gasoline, the only thing I know here is that regular gas should be consumed before 3 months, while top tier gas has that time extended to 6 months. If it has anything with injector failure like diesel does, I don't know.
