Depends if you mean what Phil Wood calls "road", which have an alloy axle. The "touring" hubs, superficially similar, have a s/steel axle. I have touring hubs on my - er - tourer and they seem maintenance free and indestructible, like the high flange track ones, which I also have. Haven't got any alloy axles.
