Sadly, none of this is useful for determining whether or not multi-year living in constant 0.38 g has any permanent deleterious effect. And there's only one way to get such data.

The nearest real data available are from the ~year long stays in 0 g. They bode well for partial g, but given the relatively short periods that's merely intuitive extrapolation and yields no information on thresholds.

Sure. But the point still stands. All the data suggests that this is a minor issue at worst compared to all the other health and engineering challenges for Mars.
