Are foldable packable duffels durable enough for checked baggage?

Verified-purchase reviewers and r/onebag threads suggest budget foldable duffels like the Gonex and Urtala hold up fine as a checked bag for a few trips, especially when used as overflow for souvenirs or laundry on the return leg. They are not, however, considered buy-it-for-life pieces — the thin ripstop fabric is the main durability concern reviewers flag.
