U.S. grocery store washed eggs also last far longer than the printed sell-by date, in the fridge, a good few months also. I have eaten em many times.

I dunno if one eggs storage method lasts longer than the other, but they both last an awful long time, apparently.

I have heard the water content/texture does change after a long time, making them unsuitable for baking applications where the composition matters. I'm not a baker, I dunno. They taste fine and are indistinguishable scrambled or fried.

You may pinpoint the major flaw in my feeling - they last so long the elapsed time wasn't precisely measured. :)

Let enough months pass and they seem to thicken up some - still edible, but definitely past their best. None of the box we misplaced at the back of the store cupboard were off.
