... statement that this device lasts ten years before it fails to

First, be careful about statements like 10 years before it fails to hold
state. Usually that means if you write data to the device and put it on a
shelf, you've got 10 years before the data is unreadable. Being marketing
possibly it's true if you will write it few times and no more ;) store it

Point remains: Adding port knocking does not solve any security problem, it
only adds
complexity, cost, points of failure, inconvenience etc while making your
problem appear
differently and leaving you with the illusion of being more secure.
