You've been on iPhone so long I wonder if this is really an issue?

Just over a year. Not all that long. But does anyone actually provide support for a rooted phone? Do you get them replaced when things don't work? Like if I have a battery issue I expect a new phone. If I root the phone, will that still happen?

Yes. Rooting a phone in no way voids manufacturer warranties or support from the carrier.
