Might however be riddled with issues tied to the natural decay of frozen DNA over 30 years. We don't have any data on such live experiments. They can - hopefully - be just fine, or suffer from yet unseen genetic diseases developing with age.
AFAIC I see no reason for a frozen piece of DNA to be healthier than one that has been naturally replicated with new material over and over, despite this occurring in a less than optimal environment.

Cosmic rays are a thing. DNA repair is stopped and the slow decay continues.
