When was the last time you had to replace a pair of caliper brake pads
on the road because you wore them out during a ride? I usually get
years-to-decades from mine.

Yikes! I keep spare pads in my patch kit because it’s hard to watch
pad wear so I’m paranoid about wearing a pair out during a ride. Now I
have another reason to!
Out of curiosity, what sort of material were the pads? I’ve broken
resin-type pads while inserting them before but sintered pads seem to
be a bit more durable (and long lasting).

Uh, I had a simple flat fix turn complicated when I replaced the
front wheel in the fork, missing the gap between the pads in the
caliper by a smidge and shearing the pad's braking material off
the backer plate. That's not a roadside repair unless you carry a
replacement pair in your bag.
Short answer was to snag a rear pad out of the caliper to replace
the now toothless front pad and put the padless plate into the
rear caliper and riding home gingerly.

Roadside maintenance easier on rim or disc brakes?
