I have one on my Krenov made plane. Thick blades, easy to sharpen.

What sort of stones are these? How much thickness do you estimate is being removed when flattening them.

I'm using Shapton GlassStones. I got my first set around 2006 and the 1000-grit lasted over 10 years, maybe 12. If you are careful and use the stone evenly, they last a long time. The abrasive is about 5/16" thick and because of the glass backer, can be used until it's almost gone. If flattening removed .001" each time, that would give you about 300 flattening operations; I'm sure I flattened them many more times than that, so the amount is very small. That is partly due to the flatness of the lapping plate. I use the Shapton Diamond Lapping Plate, which is flat to .0002". It's very expensive, but may pay for itself over time.
