The Nitto NT-01 is based off the same internal design (nitto is part of toyo). It just has a tread design that doesn't need to be shaved.
Yes, r-comps can get hard over time from both heat cycles and from general ageing/drying out. Regular street tires age much better. If you have the luxury of a second set of wheels then it's easy to store them in a way that minimizes that effect as mentioned earlier.
Will it ruin your track day next season? No. They'll just "fall off" earlier.
