This is not dependent on your installation or your accounting data. The only thing that could possibly happen is when a report template is removed from gnucash. That's equivalent to the report no longer being accessible via the reports menu.

That’s good news...

... and I haven’t dipped my toes into guile, so that constraint won’t affect me.

Thanks,
