I have some from 2017 still going well, they do have faster self discharge than my eneloops and Tenergy centura, but shelf life and recharge cycles have been good for me with AA and AAA batteries
The case looked sealed.
the nimh are too low voltage for many devices
Lithium Ion AA and AAA batteries are regulated to 1.5V for compatibility. AA and AAA batteries generally don't benefit from lithium ion chemistry. Lithium ion benefits of a higher C rating and energy density are huge, but if that's important for the device, your device won't use AA or AAA batteries in the first place.

TL;DW: Amazon Basics might be rebadged Eneloops. Even if they aren't, they are close enough that that's the one to buy.
EBL sucks but when considering the price, it's a better choice than Eneloop, unless you are looking at something that needs extremely low self-discharge like a fire alarm.

4 years for me lol
Mine does. Been in remote for 2 years.
Cheap brand usually last for several months and not hold charge well after.
atleast for me it doesn't make sense to put rechargeable on remotes as even regular battery tend to stay longer. I use it high intensive applications like soap dispensers, work led lights, vr controllers.. ebl hasnt been worth the charge time

Some devices that require AA won't work at 1.2V at all (or multiple 1.2V), so NiMH is no go.
Rechargeable Lithium AA will fit that well if don't want to keep adding alkaline to recycle bin (as long as the device is not high discharged like flashlight because of the buck converter can't handle that)
