Perhaps true when many many decades ago they used mineral type oil,but since introducing 30 odd years ago synthetic oil this does not happen and the amount of oil used to lubricant a Rolex watch is just a few very very tiny drops.

What about the gaskets? Will they dry out?

That is a consideration that is related to environmental factors.
But yes. They will eventually perish/degrade, but that's a separate issue to keeping a watch on a winder.
