For as long as I have been in photography (>40 years), flash manufacturers, of both studio flash and speedlites, have been recommending reforming the capacitors on idle units at least 6 mo. intervals, plugging them in (if AC powered) and turning them on (AC or DC powered) for 1 hour.
A six-month interval is certainly reasonable. More frequent cycling doesn't hurt.
Problems can definitely be expected in equipment that sits unused for a year or more.
