First of all, I'm really enjoying this game!

But I have some worries about the longevity of the components. Especially the player boards. We've had five four-player sessions and already they start showing the wear of the pegs being moved in and out. I'm afraid that after a year of playing, the player boards will be useless and the pegs will be flying everywhere whenever you exhale too hard.

Does anyone have any ideas how to (mostly) prevent this? Is there a chance of getting better quality player boards with an expansion? Or as a stand-alone pack?

Might be possible to make your own using either wood, metal or plastic. Plastic Player Boards might have been a better option for FFG in this case.

3D printing would be a great option.
