From my past experience manufacturing rotocast tanks a proper weld will last a very long time. I've seen repaired tanks 10+ years later that were still functioning just fine. Tank manufacturers hate that as they don't make any money when someone repairs a tank. It does take some patience and practice to get it right, and always test before installing - surprisingly enough a common error.
One caveat though is the location of the repair. In some situations it happens to be in an area where there's a lot of stress or pressure, either in or out, right where the repair is needed. If this is the case you should rethink how the tank is supported/protected to eliminate the pressure, rub area or exposure.
Merry Christmas,
