The bushes or bearings will wear, but I'd expect the wheels themselves to wear out before they do.
Tacx wheels with stainless steel bearings are <£15 and regular bearings <£10.
The upper wheel (guide pulley) should have some slack in order to keep the chain aligned with the sprocket.
The lower wheel (tension pulley) shouldn't.
