Certainly I've never had any pegs go out of round. On very old instruments, much played and tuned, the holes in the peg box may become enlarged in which case a luthier will simply fill and re-drill/ream them. I think the use of lighter wood - boxwood? - pegs on violins or cellos is largely a matter of aesthetics. Some players may prefer the look, along with a lighter wood tailpiece to match the pegs.
